Smarts Mountain, Mountain summit in Lyme, New Hampshire, United States
Smarts Mountain is a summit in Lyme, New Hampshire, reaching roughly 1000 meters high with wide views of the surrounding landscape. Two hiking routes lead to the peak: the Appalachian Trail and the Ranger Trail, each offering different terrain and experiences.
Early in the 1900s, two wooden fire-watch towers stood on the mountain until operations ceased in 1922. The Dartmouth Outing Club later built a new tower and shelter cabin that operated into the 1970s.
The summit draws local hikers who value the views and quiet surroundings of this region. Day visitors and outdoor enthusiasts regularly use the trails as an escape into nature.
The trails are well-marked and the trailhead is easily accessible by parking area. Starting early in the day with plenty of water and sturdy gear is wise, as the paths can be steep and weather can change quickly.
The mountain is separated from the White Mountains by Oliverian Notch, giving it a relative prominence among New Hampshire peaks of over 600 meters. This geographic feature makes it notable to hikers who seek summits with distinctive characteristics.
