Mt. Hunger
Ashburnham, MA
Trailheads, measurements, times, distances, and maps are all approximate and relative to the hike(s) as shown below.
Looking up the Midstate Trail
Route: Midstate Trail
Trail was mostly dry and in good shape. Nice views of Watatic from the on trail vista. Bushwhacked to a nearby bump to attempt to hit the highpoint, but it looks like there are a bunch of possibilities. It appears the highpoint as labelled on old maps was a little bit past the ledge view.
Pretty easy grades with only two short climbs (slippery leaves). Good footing most of the way. Good for trail jogging.

The Midstate Trail trailhead on Russell Hill Road
Looking over Stodge Meadow Pond at Mt. Watatic from the Mt. Hunger vista
Directions to trailhead: From Route 12 in Ashburnham, take Russell Hill Road east. Shortly after passing over a height of land (and just before Cross Road), the Midstate Trail will be on the left, with minimal room to park roadside just above the trailhead.
