The trail rises somewhat steeply through mixed forest to the summit of Averill Mountain, where there is a rock ledge with plentiful views of the surrounding landscape. The mixed forest offers plenty of opportunity to hone your birding-by-ear skills with common hardwood songbirds such as the black throated green warbler and the ovenbird. The rocky cliffs may provide habitat for denning porcupines. Keep and eye out in the trees for these particularly prickly critters!
Averill Mountain summit is part of the Averill Mountain Wildlife Management Area. Wildlife Management Areas are managed to protect, manage, and conserve the fish, wildlife, vegetation and other natural and cultural resources of Vermont.
Access to the summit is through private land. Please respect the landowners and the resource by staying on the trail and taking out anything you bring in.
