Mount Lincoln

Mount Lincoln is a forested peak in the Pelham Hills reaching about 1,240 feet, topped by a fire tower that has overlooked the landscape for generations. The summit provides views across the Connecticut River Valley and the surrounding countryside.

The forest surrounding Mount Lincoln was donated to the University of Massachusetts in 1952 as a memorial gift. This donation helped preserve the mountain and its woodlands for future generations.

The mountain is part of a local trail network that connects visitors with the natural landscape of the region. People use the paths on foot to explore the hills and enjoy the views.

The mountain is best visited during daylight hours, especially between spring and fall when weather is mild. Several parking areas provide access to the trails leading around the peak.

Water flowing from Mount Lincoln takes different paths depending on which side of the summit it falls. Part of it flows westward toward Hop Brook and Amethyst Brook, while another portion travels eastward through Jabish Brook.
