Spruce Mountain

Vermont

About

Spruce Mountain is a summit in Vermont, rising to 3,037 feet about 5 miles from the town of Plainfield. It sits in the state's northern reaches, and two trails start close by: the Spruce - Seyon Trail, about a mile away, and the Spruce Mountain Trail, just over a mile off. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show July highs around 76°F with lows near 55°F, and the summit sits well above that station, so expect cooler temperatures up top. The Spruce Mountain Trail is the closest route, and the Spruce - Seyon Trail is almost as near. For more time outdoors, Bean Road offers mountain biking about 1.8 miles away, and Lake Groton, roughly 5 miles out, is a fishing spot.
