Mts. Percival & Morgan Guided Hike with the Squam Lakes Association, Holderness NH
Come enjoy SLA’s fully reopened trail network with a challenging hike up Mount Percival and Mount Morgan! This 5.4-mile out-and-back hike will cover 1,522 feet of elevation and summit two Squam Range peaks, along with traversing a section of the Crawford Ridgepole Trail. If you’re looking to check these peaks off your life list or count a few more trails towards becoming a Squam Ranger, this is a great opportunity to do so. For more information about the Squam Ranger program, see squamlakes.org/squamrangers or ask one of your Lakes Region Conservation Corps guides. Mt. Percival and Mt. Morgan are on the private property of Webster Land Co., which generously allows public access along the trails maintained by the SLA.
Participants should bring gear appropriate for a strenuous hike, including plenty of water, a portable lunch, and any snacks they would like. All are welcome to attend, but keep in mind that this is a strenuous hike. Children must be accompanied by an adult.
Throughout the year, the Squam Lakes Association offers free programs open to the public on a variety of nature and conservation related topics. The Adventure Ecology programs are presented by the Lakes Region Conservation Corps members who perform important conservation work in support of the Association’s mission.
The Lakes Region Conservation Corps (LRCC) is an AmeriCorps service program that develops skills and experiences for conservation professionals. LRCC members are the driving force behind the Squam Lakes Association’s conservation efforts. The program provides hands-on conservation work experience and numerous certifications over a broad range of areas, which ensures that LRCC members are capable of independently approaching a variety of tasks in the environmental conservation field. Members remove invasive species from the Squam watershed, manage and act as caretakers at our backcountry campsites, maintain the SLA’s 50+ miles of trails, educate the public on local and regional conservation initiatives, spearhead reports on conservation efforts, lead SLA volunteer crews and ensure the daily functioning of the Squam Lakes Association’s programs.
