| Parking/Access Road Notes: |
We hiked north to south, spotting cars.
North trailhead for the Wapack Trail is a giant parking lot with kiosk; room for many cars. Mountain Road, Greenfield (east of Peterborough). Easy to get directions and information online.
As we hiked the northern 9.5 miles, (not entire Wapack Trail) our southern parking was a small lot (room for 6-7 cars) on Temple Road in Sharon, NH, aka: Sharon Ledges Trailhead. Again... easy to get directions online. |

| Comments: |
After much hiking in the Whites, it was fun and interesting to hike in southern NH. The Wapack undulates over hills and small mountains, through some old growth, and along a rocky landscape that has inspired hikers to create interesting and numerous rock cairns. Very fun day in a new area. Also... the three peaks are on the NH500 list. |
