Skatutakee Mountain

Skatutakee Mountain is a 1,998-foot monadnock in Hancock, New Hampshire, rising from a base it shares with nearby Thumb Mountain. Though much of it is wooded, open ledges near the summit provide wide views across the countryside, including toward the north face of Mount Monadnock. Its streams drain south through Jaquith and Nubanusit brooks to the Contoocook and Merrimack rivers and north through Ferguson Brook to the Contoocook. The mountain also lies within a 12,500-acre conservation supersanctuary created through protected lands and easements, and it serves as both a hiking destination and a center for regional environmental education.
