    Running

    The trails around Oak Hill are all relatively easy, but the views are great at several outlooks along the way — and best of all from near the old fire lookout tower on the hill.

    Cycling

    Oak Hill Fire Tower is a popular spot with locals. You will have to leave your bike at the bottom of the tower to be able to climb the stairs to the top of the tower for views of the western mountains of the Monadnock Region, Mount Kearsarge, Mount Cardigan, and others.

    The Tower Trail offers a classic New England hiking experience, guiding you through woodlands with a steady ascent to the rewarding viewpoint of Oak Hill. Expect a mix of hard-packed earth and natural trail surfaces underfoot as you climb, with the scenery gradually opening up to provide expansive views from the summit. It's a moderate route that feels like a proper hike, perfect for clearing your head and enjoying the outdoors.

    Planning your visit to the Tower Trail is relatively simple, as it's generally accessible year-round, though winter conditions will require appropriate gear. Parking is typically available near the trailhead, but arriving earlier in the day is advisable to ensure a spot, especially during peak times. No special permits are usually needed, making it an easy trail to tackle on short notice.

    This particular Tower Trail, located in the Concord area of New Hampshire, is a fantastic example of the region's accessible yet engaging hiking. While many trails share the "Tower Trail" name across the country, this one stands out for its well-defined path to Oak Hill, offering a satisfying moderate challenge. It's a great option if you're looking for a 4.4-mile (7.1 km) hike with 585 feet (178 metres) of elevation gain, which you can comfortably complete in about 2 hours and 2 minutes.
