A 6.0-mile strenuous out-and-back hike - the Old Speck Mountain Trail is an arduous trek. Though recommended for experienced hikers, the ending offers a waterfall and views from the fire tower that are worth the attempt to visit. Beware, this route is steep and at higher elevations, even in the warmer months, the pathway is likely hindered with ice and snow runoff. The Appalachian Trail also crosses this mountain, so hikers are likely to see other visitors passing through, and for those who like to fish, Speck Pond is not far from the summit and stocked with worthy brookies.
