Dominant Natural Communities

The Mount Agamenticus Conservation Region offers scenic vistas of the Atlantic Ocean and the White Mountains, along with unfragmented forests and watersheds that showcase years of land protection efforts. The Region also boasts more than 40 miles of trails used by an estimated 30,000 visitors each year.

This vantage point, with its views of the undeveloped forests and local reservoirs, is the ideal location to bring your family, school group, company, club, or friends to enjoy the scenery, have a picnic, host a meeting, and learn about the significance of the region for wildlife and water quality. 

Learning Lodge
The Mount Agamenticus conservation program will be hosting a “Sneak Peek” in the new summit “Learning Lodge” on Saturday, June 12 from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm.  The summit lodge will be open to the public and multiple activities are planned throughout the day.

The Sneak Peek will present a glimpse of what is to come when the Learning Lodge is established as a beacon of environmental education at the summit of Mount Agamenticus.

As we work to develop the Learning Lodge, please check back for updates.  The facility will be open for public visitation on weekends through out the summer, is free of charge and can be enjoyed by all ages.  Hours are limited and may vary, so please Contact Us for more information. 

This endeavor is a result of our dedicated “Friends of Mt. A” and the Mount Agamenticus Steering Committee. 

We are very excited about the development of the Learning Lodge and of our Friends.  To learn more about how you can help out, including how to become a Friend, please visit our Get Involved page.
