English Hill
About
English Hill is a summit of 1,166 feet in the Athens Ranger District of Wayne National Forest in southeastern Ohio, about 4.6 miles from the town of Matamoras (New Matamoras). For comfortable weather, aim for late spring or early fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Newport show May highs around 74°F and September highs around 78°F, with September also seeing the fewest wet days of the year. That station sits roughly 500 feet lower than the summit, so temperatures on top run a little cooler. The Bt - Ohio hike starts just 0.2 miles away, and the Archers Fork Loop is about 3 miles off. Climbers can head to Harris Ridge Boulders, about 2.5 miles away, and Ring Mill campground is about 3.1 miles away.
