Beech Mountain Loop Trail Details

This moderate-level trail features beautiful wild flowers and is primarily used for hiking, walking, nature trips, and birding. It is accessible year-round and dogs are allowed on the trail, but must be on a leash. At one point the trail forks to the left, steeply ascending to the Beech Mountain Summit, and to the right, offering a vista of Long Pond before rising to the summit. Combine trails for an especially scenic loop.
