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.

Beautiful spot! About an hour to do the full loop, with some meandering at the summit and including the trail out to the little bit of water. It is not good for a swim spot, but nice view of a sheltered cove. Lovely stone bench at the summit and really fabulous views from there.
