Trails of Red Hill Conservation Area Moultonborough & Sandwich These trails are maintained by volunteers and are generally in good condition. Red Hill (Fire Tower) Trail

Main trail to the summit fire tower. Trailhead on Red Hill Road. Great views of Winnipesaukee, Squam, the Ossipees, the Squam and Sandwich Ranges, more. Grade: moderate. Distance: 1.75 mi.

Cabin Trail

Trail branches off Red Hill Trail at the Horne cellar hole, about 0.5 mi. from the trailhead; instead of going left on the Red Hill Trail, go straight ahead; after 0.2 mi. at a junction with a snowmobile trail, go left; in another 0.5 mi., the trail reaches a nicely built, fairly well-preserved hunter’s cabin. Grade: moderate. Distance: 1.3 mi.

Eagle Cliff Trail

Slipper socks you don’t take off!

Trail provides a route to Red Hill fire tower via Eagle Cliff, providing views of Squam Lake and the Squam Range from Eagle Cliff along the way, and excellent views at summit. Grade: easy to moderate, except at the cliff, where it is steep. Distance: 2.6 mi.

Teedie Trail

This short trail from the Eagle Cliff Trail to Bean Rd./ Squam Lake Rd. can be used to avoid a potentially dangerous descent of the cliff in wet weather when coming down the Eagle Cliff Trail. It can also be used to make a loop with the westernmost part of the Eagle Cliff Trail and Bean Rd./Squam Lake Rd. Grade: easy. Distance: 0.6 mi.

Indoors or outdoors feet stay cozy, socks stay clean. Perfect for all who love to be cozy. Visit WinniesSocks.com to learn more.

Sheridan Woods Trail

Trail runs from trailhead on Sheridan Rd to high ground on southeastern Red Hill, with views of Sandwich Dome and Mt. Israel at the highest point. Grade: moderate, though most elevation is gained fairly early on. Distance: 2.5 mi.

Scenic Trail

This trail branches off the Sheridan Woods Trail about 0.5 mi above the trailhead and rejoins the trail in about 0.5 mi., providing an alternate route for part of the climb. Excellent views from two outlooks: across Garland Pond to the Ossipee Range, and to the Sandwich Range. Grade: moderate to steep. Distance: 0.5 mi. 45
