Great hike! Drive across the bridge and turn left for the trailhead, or you can even walk 3/4 mile to the trailhead. It's a mile and change up the trail to a great view of Brattleboro.
This hike and destination (the top of Mt. Wantastiquet overlooking the lively (by Vermont standards) town of Brattleboro, Vermont) is one of our utmost favorite hikes in the area. The vista is vast and grand. It is also suitable for all fitness levels and does not feature any rock scrambles. Although the park is technically in New Hampshire, it is literally a stone's through from Brattleboro, Vermont, where you can enjoy the wealth of restaurants, coffee, and shopping the town has to offer, before or after your hike.

If you want to take a longish hike, you have a wonderful view of Brattleboro from the top of this mountain. To access the mountain trail, cross over the bridge that goes to Hinsdale NH, and go left when you get across. You'll see a parking area on your right and can hike from there. About 2 or so hours up to the top. An alternate walk is the River Trail. Park in the same spot and go straight along the river rather than up. This latter is a popular dog walking trail.
