The Beech Hill–Dublin Lake Watershed Association is offering monthly vehicle access to the summit of Beech Hill, allowing individuals who cannot make the traditional hike to visit the newly completed, handicap-accessible Meadow Trail.

The summit parking area will open to vehicles from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. on the third Sunday of each month through November 2026, with dates set for Aug. 16, Sept. 20, Oct. 18, and Nov. 15. Completed last fall, the one-third-mile, all-persons loop features a wooded path, a rest area, and an easterly outlook toward Crotched Mountain.

The trail welcomes wheelchair users, families with strollers, seniors, and leashed dogs. On non-event days, visitors can reach the summit by hiking from the Beech Hill Road mid-level parking area.

A map of the complete trail network is available through the Monadnock Conservancy at https://www.monadnockconservancy.org/explore/hiking
