Volunteer: Trail Work Day on Mt. Morgan Trail

Join the Squam Lakes Association on Sunday, Aug. 24, from 9AM - 2PM, as we clean up a section of our hiking network in the Squam Range. We will take a 2-mile hike up Mt. Morgan Trail to the mountain's summit (4 miles out and back) to clear water bars, remove blowdowns and cut back overgrown brush as we ascend. At the top, we will rest to enjoy lunch with a view and celebrate a job well done. Trail work is a great way to enjoy the best hikes around Squam and meet fellow hikers while giving back to the community!

For more than 75 years, the trails in the Squam Lakes region have been maintained by the Squam Lakes Association. There are 57 miles of hiking trails and 3 miles of mountain bike trails in the SLA network, and the SLA performs over 2,500 hours of trail construction and maintenance each year with help from Volunteer Trail Adopters.

This event is weather dependent. We will reach out if conditions become unsafe for the day.

Children must be accompanied by an adult.

If participants are able, we recommend bringing tools such as hoes and maddocks and PPE such as work gloves and eye protection. The SLA will be providing tools and PPE as well. We recommend bringing plenty of water, snacks, extra layers, hiking boots, sunscreen, and bug spray. Don't forget to bring a lunch for the summit!

Mt. Morgan Trailhead

Mt. Morgan Trail climbs Mt. Morgan from NH 113. The Crawford-Ridgepole Trail enters on the left at around 1.7 miles, and at 1.9 miles the cliff trail heads left over rock ladders through a boulder cave. The CRT and Morse Trail connect the Morgan and Percival trails to form a popular loop.
