Mount Israel Loop Hike

Join us for this moderate loop hike that begins with the Bearcamp Trail on Sandwich Notch Road.  This moderately flat trail of 0.6 mi includes time along the Bearcamp River and a stop at Beede Falls and a view of Cow Cave. At 0.6 mi we join the Wentworth Trail and hike for 2.1 mi through beautiful forest to the peak of Mt Israel.If the clouds cooperate, we should see great views of the Lakes Region along the way and from the peak.  From the summit we will descend 1.7 miles on the Mead Trail and then 1.7 miles Guinea Pond Trails, followed by a walk of about 2 miles on Sandwich Notch Road.    The loop hike is about 8.2 miles and 1850 feet of elevation gain.   

We'll eat lunch at the peak, so bring your lunch. Also bring or wear layers to accommodate late August temperatures. It's always important to bring at least 1 liter of water, rain gear, sunscreen, and bug spray.

Rain will cancel.
