2025 is the year of our lucky 13th Annual Pisgah Hill Full Moon Trek! Join us at the summit from 4 pm to 7 pm on Wednesday, February 12th for brief remarks at sunset (5:07 p.m.) followed by a spectacular moonrise over Bradbury Mountain.The Pisgah Hill Preserve (South) trailhead is at 74 Dougherty Road in New Gloucester. (In Pownal, Dougherty Road is known as Chadsey Road.) Parking for this event is on the road shoulders of Dougherty Road, one side of the road only.
It only takes a half hour to hike 0.6 miles from the trailhead to the summit and campfire. So show up any time after 4:00 pm and before 7:00 pm! We'll update registrants with trail conditions as the date draws closer. Expect some minor elevation gain and ledges that may be icy or rocky. We recommend wearing spikes and if snow has just fallen, you may want to swap the spikes with snowshoes. We’ll build a warm fire and provide s’mores at the summit.
We’ll light the way up and back with lanterns but it will largely be dark, especially during your descent. The entire loop trail (return trip) is 1.2 miles.
Recommended safety equipment: Cell phones, whistles, water, flashlights, headlamps, warm clothes, and ice grippers.
Dogs are welcome if leashed, with strict attention to pet waste removal.
