Pratt Mountain
About
Pratt Mountain is a summit of 1,825 feet in New Hampshire, about 6.6 miles from the town of Greenville. It sits within the range of the former Wapack Trail and makes a natural anchor for a day of hiking and exploring in the surrounding area. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Ashburnham, Massachusetts, put July highs around 79°F with lows near 58°F, and the summit sits higher than that station, so expect it to run a bit cooler. Watatic Summit is about 2.4 miles away, and the Cascade Trail and Access Road ski touring routes are both within about 2.8 miles. Farther out, the Contoocook River offers canoeing about 8.3 miles away.
