Mt. Roberts is the westernmost peak in the Castle in the Clouds complex in the Ossipee Mountains. While the summit features strong views to the north, perhaps the most scenic portion is the ledge area along the Mt. Roberts Trail. The Lake Winnipesaukee views from this section are second to none.

15 miles and 3 summits later! Bit buggy, but overall great day!
Did this is late January. I loved the wintery mixed weather scenery. The trees had ice on them. As we ascended, i felt like we were in the movie Frozen haha

Great Hike! Honestly I enjoyed the views going up to the top even better than the top. So don't miss the opportunity to stop and see these views on your way up. The trail was nice as it had its incline parts and then it would level off for a bit and then back to incline. Gave me a good chance to recover. Trail was well marked. I am a bug magnet but as long as we were moving they were not a huge problem....but they are out. We parked at the stable of Castle In the Clouds.
Fun trail! If it were not for bugs, it would have been more fun! Be prepared for them. Muddy on some areas but manageable.
Such an amazing hike. Completed with my 6 and 8 year olds - their longest hike! Fantastic for kids. Not too steep and multiple flat spots after the inclines. Good balance. Beautiful views. A bit buggy but that's to be expected this time of year. Trailhead was a little difficult to find. Go up past the stables and to the left.
Trail was in good condition. Well-marked except for a small area or two near the ledges at the top. I noticed a (new?) path that now cuts up through the horse pasture at the beginning that some were taking. It cuts out about 5-10 minutes of walking, but we opted for the original path. Some muddy spots higher up near the summit, but nothing crazy. Didn't see a lot of wildlife other than playing chipmunks and a rather timid snake. Went earlier in the morning (8am start) and so had the summit to ourselves. Lots of people heading by the time we were going down. Used picaridin for the black flies and that did the job.

This was a great hike, fairly challenging and good length. Pretty views. Heavily trafficked.

Really nice trail! It’s a good mix of easy and moderate. There are some rocky spots but nothing unmanageable! The views at the viewpoint (a little before the actual peak) are amazing!! Super fun hike! Perfect for beginners and children!
Great trail and not muddy at all! Great views all the way up:)
