Green Mountain Fire Tower
As of last year, at least, the fire tower on Green Mountain was still there and was manned by a tower watchman as part of the network of fire towers across the state devoted to helping local fire companies get the quickest start possible in the suppression of brush and/or forest fires.

Thank you
dcr,
Thank you for the info. I guess I'll make plans to walk the ol mount again this year. It's been over thirty years from the last time so it should be interesting. ToW |

This sounds like an interesting hike. Can you post some information about it? Is there a marked trail? Parking? How do you get to it? About how long a hike is it and what can you see?
See what you started? |

Trails on Green Mt
Quote:
If there is a fire tower on the mountain you can be sure the views are quite good, but you may have to climb the tower to see them at their best. |

sounds like a good hike
thanks dcr, as always, for the information. Surely you must have a photo or a map that you could post and share with us! Have you been hiking much lately? How is the snow on the trails? .....and no blackflies yet. mcdude

The last time I climbed Green Mountain was several decades ago, and I wasn't taking pictures then. Speaking of maps, I have made a hiker's map of the trails of the Belknap Range (and maps of the Ossipee Range & Red Hill - available, eventually, from the LRCT) and if anyone who hikes the Belknaps would like one, the Gilford Library makes copies of that map and sells them, at cost, as a public service to its patrons (or anyone who asks, I think).

Maps
Thanks DCR...that's good to know. I'll have to stop in to the library when I go up over April Vacation to open up the camp.

BBS,
Sorry I didn't post a reply to your question but dcr did a great job for me. I have not been on the Mt for so many years that I would have been of little help anyway. The last time I hiked the Mt I went through the woods on no trails. I had an adult guide that led us up. Seems that things have changed with the jeep trail and the other market trails. It'll still be fun to do though. ToW |
