Trail length:

6 miles

Description

Catch a breather along the face of a shallow ridge before the path climbs briefly, then flattens again to span a brook on wooden planks. Just beyond this crossing, the trail directly assaults the western flank of Lincoln Mountain, the elongated parent of Mount Abraham, Mount Ellen, and other lesser peaks. With views flickering through the treetops, the route executes a .5 mile zigzag up a sharply angled slope then slants southeast, turning away from the summit toward a col that holds the shelter. A brisk .4 mile climb completes the final leg of the Battell Trail that meets a curve in the Long Trail, .1 mile south of the campsite and .9 mile south of the peak.

Directions

In the center of Lincoln Village, turn north onto unmarked Quaker Street at a stone marker and directly adjacent to the Lincoln General Store. After .6 mile, turn right (east) onto Forest Road 350 at a second sign for the Battell Trail, and stay on this gravel road ignoring turns that branch right and left. After 2.1 miles, FR 350 narrows to one lane and leads to a parking space across the road from the trailhead.
