Based in southern Vermont, the Little Black Mountain trail is an in and out trail that’s just over a mile long. Due to the terrain and elevation of 219 feet, it’s rated moderate. Locals and tourists flock to the trail to see wildlife and to take in views of New Hampshire that look like they’re a stone’s throw away. Because the trail is fairly short and slightly steep, it’s also popular for families with children.

Set your GPS to 1933 Black Mountain Rd in Dummerston to reach the trailhead.

You won't be disappointed if you hike Little Black Mountain on a clear day. The breathtaking views of New Hampshire may leave you speechless.
