Park Information
Rollins offers one hiking trail to the summit. The Rollins Trail is marked with white blazes and leaves from the picnic area. It climbs .5 miles and 300 feet through the forest and over bare granite ledge. The route follows the old carriage road to the 2,937 foot summit.
Additionally, the Lincoln Trail which begins on Kearsarge Valley Road in Sutton, NH, passes through the Rollins picnic area. It is a 5-mile trail that traverses the northwest slope of Black Mountain. From the Rollins picnic area, the remaining ½ mile begins with a rough, steep section for approximately 200 yards before continuing on a gentler slope to the summit. The Lincoln Trail is blazed with White Trapezoids.
Hikers interested in finding out what the conditions are prior to heading out can call the park directly at (603) 456-3808.
Pets are permitted in the park but must remain on a leash and attended to at all times.
