U.S. Forest Service Protects Owls Head

FRIDAY, 28 DECEMBER 2007

The U.S. Forest Service added 360 acres of land containing Owls Head Cliff, a towering granite cliff face, to White Mountain National Forest in New Hampshire.

The large parcel of land, which is put under protection, is popular among rock climbers and hikers. A 500-foot-high granite cliff system, Owls Head consists of many high-angle friction slabs. Located off Route 25 in Benton, New Hampshire, it is far from the major climbing centers of North Conway and Franconia Notch and has been kept unvisited by most climbers.

In September 2006, landowners placed the land on the market for development. The Forest Service later bought the land using the Access Fund Grant.
