All distances are approximate and one-way, from the specified trailhead to the summit of Monadnock, elevation approximately 3165 feet. Two different routes from the same trailhead can be combined into a loop. Many minor trails are not included in this list, particularly those between the Halfway House and the Cliff Trail.
The approved 2003 Master Plan suggests fee collection at all trailheads and moving summer family camping to Gilson Pond but it has not yet been implemented.
