Mount Tire’m, Waterford

QUICK TRAIL FACTS

  • Preserve Size: NA
  • Trail Mileage: 0.6-miles one way
  • Pets: yes
  • Difficulty: moderate to strenuous
  • Sights: views from summit (1,060 ft.), large boulders

This is a steep, 0.6-mile hike to a pretty view on Mount Tire’m, a roughly 1,060-foot peak. And yes, if you’re wondering, it’s quite tiring! If you carry on past the open ledge at about 0.6 mile, you’ll see a track continuing down that crosses into private property. The public trail here is called Daniel Brown Trail — you’ll see a plaque on a rock near the trailhead. There are humongous boulders at the base of this mountain. You can access them via a faint path off to your left (facing up the mountain) close to the start of the trail.

Directions: At the village green in Waterford, close to where Routes 35 and 37 meet, turn onto Plummer Hill Road. The trailhead is to the left, where there is room for a few cars to pull off.

I’ve pasted it in, below. I noticed it because I’ve hiked it and know it’s not 6 miles. When you click on that, to get to this page, it has the .6, but not on the search page. :- ) Terry

  2. Oh yes, another user pleaded with me to add the 0 before all my points in my .X hikes — a very good protocol I’ve adopted, alas, only recently! I’ll work on editing my older posts with those helpful 0.s. Thank you for your note.

Let me know if you have any trail updates or corrections!
