Description

This 250-foot mountain sits in the middle of 38 undeveloped acres along the edge of Eggemoggin Reach. A short loop trail takes you to the summit and past an old cemetery. The trail is steep and rocky in sections. A short spur trail heads down a broad and relatively level trail known as the “Old School House Road”. This trail ends at the conservation property line. A second spur travels south to access the shoreline at a small cove.

Other Information

Please note: The summit of John B. Mountain is home to a fragile natural community of shrubs, mosses and lichens. Please take extra care to stay on marked trails and leave the land as you found it.

Use guidelines:

  • Please stay on marked trails.
  • Carry out what you take in.
  • Fires are not permitted.
  • Dogs must be leashed.
