Mt. Pisgah, VT |

 | Trails: |
South Trail |
|
 | Date of Hike: |
Sunday, June 15, 2025 |
|
 | Parking/Access Road Notes: |
I parked on the west side of US-5, and there was more than adequate space on a Sunday afternoon. |
|
 | Surface Conditions: |
Dry Trail, Mud - Minor/Avoidable |
|
 | Recommended Equipment: |
|
|
 | Water Crossing Notes: |
No issues - there is a sturdy bridge over the pond near the trailhead, and only a couple of trivial water crossings along the way. |
|
 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
The trail seems to be very well-maintained and is clearly marked, but it has been widened in many spots by hikers trying to avoid obstacles or mud. |
|
 | Dog-Related Notes: |
This trail should be no problem for dogs. There is only one rock scramble, at South Overlook near the summit, and most dogs should be able to manage it with a little help. |
|
 | Bugs: |
Some blackflies, but not too bad. |
|
 | Lost and Found: |

 | Comments: |
The trail is unrelentingly steep but the views from South and West Overlooks made it worth it. I didn't go as far as North Overlook. Be aware that cell service is unreliable - and likely comes from Canada, if it's available at all. There is no signal at all at parking. |
