Guided Hike: Brooks-Fisher Trail

Who wants to hike the only trail on the north side of the Squam Range? Join Diego and Chloe for a peaceful hike up and down the Brooks-Fisher Trail. This easy/moderate 2.5-mile roundtrip ascends steadily via a series of well-graded switchbacks and a few rocky sections before connecting with the Crawford-Ridgepole Trail.

If the group is feeling adventurous, we can continue our journey another half a mile to a lookout with one of the best views of Squam Lake and the surrounding mountains. Please arrive at the Brooks-Fisher trailhead at 9:45AM with a positive spirit, plenty of water/snacks, and hiking gear. We look forward to seeing you out on the trail!

Participants should be sure to have appropriate attire and gear for hiking. Bring with you: extra layers, food/water, water resistant hiking boots/shoes, and a day pack to store your gear in.

The SLA can provide trekking poles and day packs if needed. Other hiking gear may be available upon request. Not sure what to pack? Feel free to reach out to the SLA with any questions!
