| Comments: |
Boyonton Hill is the high point of Sullivan, NH. I looked up the Allison Nims Piper Memorial Forest, 191 acres, The NH Forest Society and the State of NH website give no information about the trail except for the parking area on Gilsum Road (Gilsum Road is left off of Boynton Rd). I made a nice loop heading up the woods road from the near the end of the maintained section of Boynton Road and then bushwhacked to high point. I noticed a yellow blaze and then more, trail doesn't quite go over the summit but close. I followed the path down and when it came crossed the old Chapman Road I followed it East back to the Boynton Road and my car was just parked a short distance away. My loop was about a mile in length. |
