Mount Israel Trail Maps Top

The map below shows how to get to the summit of Mount Israel via the Wentworth Trail.

From the parking lot, the Wentworth Trail starts behind the white house to the left. There is a slight dirt path leading up that way. See photo below. Follow the Wentworth Trail for 2 miles until you reach the summit! To get back down to the parking lot, retrace your steps down the Wentworth Trail for 2 miles.

Note: There is a false summit on this hike, so when you reach a high point that looks like it could be the summit, look to the right and you will see the true summit is just a bit higher and over to the right. The trail will go down then back up to it. The true summit has a cairn.
