Mount Major

The scenic, rocky summit is a popular hiking destination, accessible by multiple trails including the Mount Major Trail, the Brook Trail, and the Boulder Loop. The easiest trail is the Mount Major Trail. It is marked with blue dashes.
The north, east and south faces of Mount Major drain into Lake Winnipesaukee, thence via the Winnipesaukee River into the Merrimack River and finally into the Gulf of Maine in Massachusetts.

The Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests owns three parcels of land on the west, north, and east sides of the mountain.[3]
