PRKR MTN (Parker Mountain, NH)
Visited this after doing some light scrolling around TrailForks to find somewhere to ride my e-bike before 4 straight days of pedaling at Kingdom.
Another place where they don't have the budget for vowels, I don't understand this trend but I digress. They seem to be going after the Kingdom crowd with their description:
Apologies for not getting pictures, I broke my phone during this ride on Topper's Tour.
Getting There/Parking
Main two lots are off School St and Broom Stick Hill Rd.
The Ride Log I found went off Broomstick (which is a very well maintained gravel road) so I parked there. If you plan on doing any town activities definitely pick the other lot.
General Ride/Trail Notes
This is a mountain in name only. The trails are tremendously flat and twisty, quite rooty, some rocks but nothing compared to Northern NJ. There's ~23 miles of trail with the main climbing trail being Route 95 and a couple machine built trails that aren't anything special (Ante Up, Rabbit Hole and Beech). Generally the hand cut trails look like this:
There's a pump track near downtown Littleton and an overgrown jump line/skills area near the Boy Scout connector, neither are really worth going out of your way to go see. They're largely abandoned.

Trip Planner
About 45 minutes from Kingdom down Route 93, very easy to get to.
Food & Drink
Heard good things about Littleton Freehouse Taproom and The Coffee Pot but this was an in and out mission.

Conclusion
Use your legs to pedal and go to Victory Hill instead.
