Toad Hill is a remote 45 acre property surrounded by pristine forest and located in the heart of The White Mountains. There is lots to do and see in the area. Hike, bike, snowmobile or ski from the door to waterfalls, ponds, or just around the property in search of birds and wildlife. Take a day trip to Province or Mountain Pond for both swimming and fly fishing. Toad hill also host a summer music festival and has beautiful sculptures around the property. Perfect for people trying to get away from life and into nature!
Please read all steps before departing. Separate steps for winter travel below. **Print or screen shot these directions.** There is not consistent phone service or GPS. Which means I might not get your call. There is a locked forest service. My property is past it. Gate has code 1229. Keep gate shut at all times.
From Conway area take 113 north.
Go to the Stowe, Maine general store at the junction of 113 and 113B. Keep store on your left and continue on 113B.
Stay on 113B until it comes to a junction with the church about 2 miles. Please go super slow. People walk these roads and have dogs. Go straight onto toad hill road, keep the church on your left and the townhouse on the right. It's a well fairly well maintained dirt road. I drive my ford focus up all the time.
After about one mile. (see winter directions if needed) At the fork go right, there is a house in the middle of the fork and it looks like it could be a driveway, it is the road. If you go over the wood bridge that is the wrong way.. The sign says road not maintained and logging operation. The road should be fine for normal cars and is maintained privately. After half a mile you will come to forest service gate. It says no cars but my guests have permission to pass. Keep going straight till the top of the hill.
Leave the same way you came in. Speed limit is 10 mph max. People hike these roads often.
-winter months-
Do not drive in if there is snow on the road, you might get stuck. Park at the bottom of the hill before the house in the fork. Do not block the road and pull into the plowed area on the left before the fork and next to a telephone pole. Ski or walk up the road on the right, about 30 minutes. Yes it looks like it could be driveway but is not.
