Smarts Mountain
Orford, NH, Lyme, NH
Trailheads, measurements, times, distances, and maps are all approximate and relative to the hike(s) as shown below.
The lower Daniel Doan Trail
Route: Daniel Doan Trail
Generally a muddy, buggy mess. Very wet and muddy logging roads for the first portion of the hike, then a decent trail for a brief interlude, then an eroded, wet climb up to the ridge (nice woods though). Excellent views from the fire tower.

Directions to trailhead: From Route 25 in Wentworth, take Route 25A west. Take a left onto Quintown Road. Take a right onto Mousley Brook Trail. At a split, there is a gate on right, a small parking area on left, and straight ahead (downhill) as no vehicles sign. Walk downhill, then at bottom, across right hand bridge, but continue going straight (there are roads on the right on either side of the bridge). Go straight at trailhead sign, eventually ending upon a woods road with blue blazes.
