About this event
The historic Mount Hope Furnace, hidden deep within the woods of Camp Little Notch where the remains of a 19th-century iron industry still stand—quiet, powerful, and waiting to be explored. Operating from 1836 to 1857, this furnace powered the town of Mount Hope, which once stood where the forest now grows. What feels remote today was once a center of industry, with homes, a store, stables, and a boarding house, all supporting a booming iron business. Today, traces of that town remain scattered quietly through the woods. Please note: The furnace trail takes about 60-90 minutes to complete. Participants should be capable of walking 2.5 miles on a wilderness trail with an overall elevation change of 228 ft. The ground is uneven and not suitable for strollers or wheelchairs.
