Join the Squam Lakes Association for a 4.8 mile out and back winter hike up to the fire tower and cabin at the summit of Red Hill for 360 degree views of Squam Lake, Lake Winnipesaukee, the Squam and Sandwich ranges, and other mountains to the north and south. On the hike, participants will learn why and how the Red Hill fire tower helps us preserve and protect the surrounding land. We will also discuss the land use history of Red Hill to gain an understanding of changes that have occurred over time from farming, to logging, to protection. How/why was the fire tower used in the past versus the present? How does Red Hill fit into the greater history of all 91 New Hampshire fire towers? Come on the hike to learn all about fire towers and to find out how many fire towers are still standing in New Hampshire and are still in operation.
Meet at the Teedie Trail trailhead. The trailhead is located on a gravel driveway, next to a private tennis court on Bean Road, at the Sandwich and Moultonborough town line.
