ATTENTION: ACCESS UPDATE 9/12/2023
Copple Crown Conservation Area is currently inaccessible due to logging operations conducted by the State. Access is predicted to be restored spring 2024.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation during this time.
Copple Crown provides excellent views of Lakes Winnipesaukee and Wentworth as well as the Belknaps, Ossipees, and the Sandwich Range, looking north and west. Views south look towards the New Hampshire Seacoast. The trail follows abandoned town roads and recent logging roads for two miles through hardwood forests. In the last half-mile, the trail climbs a series of switchbacks up a steeper slope, covered with patches of spruce, such as are common in the northern forests of the White Mountains.
