Lucy Hikes the Rattlesnake Trail, Squam Lake, New Hampshire

Rattlesnake Trail, Squam Lake, New Hampshire lakes region
West Rattlesnake trail
The Rattlesnakes are two small rocky mountains on the NW side of Squam Lake which provide excellent views of the Lakes Region. (There are also about 8 Rattlesnake Hills and 5 Rattlesnake Mountains in New Hampshire, the most notable of which is in Rumney. Few if any of them house actual rattlesnakes.)

There are many old bridle paths in New Hampshire from the pre-automobile days of genteel summer vacations with travel by train from major cities. While the most famous Old Bridle Path ascends Mount Lafayette, this one is the easiest trail up West Rattlesnake, and receives heavy use from summer camps and other visitors. The trail has been heavily rebuilt with gravel and rock and log steps, and there is a donation box at the trailhead for those who wish to contribute
