Wantastiquet-Monadnock Trail
The 50 mile Wantastiquet-Monadnock Hiking Trail (WMT) can now be hiked over its whole length from Brattleboro, VT to Mt. Monadnock, NH. Well-known public lands along the trail include the Mt. Wantastiquet, Bear Mt., Pisgah and Mt. Monadnock State Parks, the Horatio Colony Preserve, the Cheshire Rail Trail, and the Forest Society's Gap Mountain and Monadnock Reservations and the Madame Sherri Forest.
The WMT is the culmination of 25 years of planning, negotiations and trail building begun by members of the Chesterfield Conservation Commission and the park staff and Friends of Pisgah Park. The Wantastiquet-Monadnock Trail Coalition, the enlarged group now overseeing the trail, also includes the Forest Society, the State of New Hampshire, the Swanzey Rail Trail Advisory Committee, Antioch New England, Colony Memorial Trust, the City of Keene, the Monadnock Conservancy, Pathways for Keene and the Southwest Regional Planning Commission.

Along the trail, there are four campsites. There is a shelter on the Dort Property off the Davis Hill Trail in Pisgah owned by the Friends of Pisgah. There are three primitive campsites: one on the Draper Road outside the Beal's Trailhead in Pisgah, and one in the Horatio Colony Preserve on the Ridgeline Trail and another off of High Street in Troy.
