Temple Mountain, Mountain summit in Hillsborough County, United States
Temple Mountain is a peak with three main summits across Sharon, Temple, and Peterborough. The ridge features exposed ledges offering westward views and access to a former ski area that provides panoramic perspectives.
A ski area operated on the northern face for many years before closing. The land later became a state-owned reservation, preserving it for public use.
The mountain attracts local hikers and outdoor enthusiasts who follow established trails connecting multiple summits across the region. It serves as a familiar destination for people seeking accessible natural spaces within driving distance.
Trails are accessible from multiple points with varying difficulty levels. It is best to visit in clear weather and wear sturdy shoes, as the exposed ledges can be slippery.
Water draining from the mountain follows two separate paths, creating a natural divide. The east side feeds the Souhegan River while the west side flows into the Contoocook River.
