MAP PACK: Ossipee 10 Challenge Peaks
Download · Instructions

Just north of New Hampshire’s Lake Winnipesaukee, the Ossipee Range is a curious, circular geological formation that appears especially striking when viewed from above on a topographic map. It is in fact a ring dike complex - a circular structure formed by ancient volcanic activity.

2,990 ft Mount Shaw
2,782 ft Faraway Mountain
2,803 ft Black Snout
2,582 ft Mount Roberts
2,388 ft Flagg Mountain
2,204 ft Turtleback Mountain
2,062 ft Tate Mountain
1,845 ft Bayle Mountain
1,801 ft Bald Knob
1,440 ft Sentinel Mountain

Ten peaks, chosen for their elevation and impressive views, make up the Ossipee 10 Challenge. Trailspotting features trail reviews that will help you reach each of these summits. We also present a Trailspotting Map Pack that you can use on your smartphone to plan your hike and navigate these trails. Map Packs even work when you are offline, and they're free for personal use.

Here are our individual trail reviews covering the Ossipee 10 Challenge:

A person stands atop a rocky outcrop, overlooking an expansive forested landscape. They wear a red shirt, gray pants, a black cap, and a backpack. The terrain below consists of rolling hills covered in a mix of deciduous and evergreen trees, stretching into the horizon. The sky is a clear blue with a few scattered clouds, reinforcing the sense of openness and tranquility. The scene evokes an outdoor adventure, possibly a hiking excursion, with the individual appearing contemplative as they take in the view.

A panoramic view of a lush, mountainous landscape. In the foreground, jagged boulders and dense green shrubs frame a winding trail that snakes into a thick forest of coniferous trees. The background features rolling hills and distant mountains cloaked in verdant foliage, all beneath a crisp blue sky dotted with scattered white clouds.

Bayle Mountain
2.6 mi · Moderate · Gain 870 ft

A green sign with white lettering reads ‘MOUNT ROBERTS ELEVATION 2585 ft. Owned and Stewarded by the Lakes Region Conservation Trust.’ The sign is mounted on a post in front of a scenic view with dense green foliage, a clear blue sky, and mountain ranges in the background.

Mts Faraway, Roberts
9.7 mi · Moderate · Gain 1,650 ft

The image shows a person standing on a rocky outcrop, gazing at a mountain covered with dense trees displaying early autumn colors. The sky is clear with a single small cloud.

The routes included in this map pack show our preferred routes, but others are also sometimes available. For example, you could add Flagg Mountain to your Mount Shaw hike if you wanted to avoid starting a hike by the summer camp at Dan Hole Pond, and you could pick up the easternmost Sentinel Mountain from a separate trail. We include more information on these options in our more detailed trail reviews.
