Paine Mountain

About

Paine Mountain is a summit in Vermont, rising to 2,405 feet about 2 miles from the town of Northfield. Summer and early fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show July highs around 78°F and September highs near 69°F, and the summit sits higher than that station, so expect cooler temperatures up top. Several trails start close by. The Paine Mountain Trail is about 1.6 miles away, and the Ridgeline Trail and Orange Trail are each within about 1.4 miles. For time on the water, the Dog River fishing access is roughly 1.8 miles off.
