North Moat Mountain

North Moat Mountain is a summit in New Hampshire reaching 974 meters with exposed rock faces and rough terrain. The hike crosses through various forest types before reaching the open ledges that overlook the White Mountains.

Trails on the mountain were established in the 1800s as part of the recreational path network in the White Mountains. This development opened the region to hikers seeking escape from growing urban areas.

Local hiking groups regularly organize guided expeditions to North Moat Mountain, teaching participants about native flora and geological formations along the route.

The hike is moderately challenging and requires sturdy footwear plus water and snacks for the journey. Parking areas are available at the trailhead to begin your ascent.

Wild blueberry bushes grow abundantly near the summit during summer months, drawing pickers who gather fruit during their hike. Many visitors combine their climb with berry picking in this alpine setting.
