Review & FAQ:
Mount Percival is a 2,212-foot mountain overlooking Squam Lake in southern New Hampshire, on the border with the White Mountain National Forest. This small mountain is popularĀ for hiking, even with kids, with some good scrambles and great views of the lakes in the Lakes Region as well as the Belknap Mountains and the White Mountains. The most popular trail is the Mount Percival Trail, a 1.9-mile hike with 1,419 feet in elevation gain, steep and rocky. It is exposed in places and considered difficult. It starts to climb very gradually until 1.6 miles, when it becomes steep and rocky. There is an interesting side path through a boulder cave that is even steeper and rockier.
