Hiking
The South Moat summit is 2.7 miles from the South Moat Mountain Trailhead off of the Kancamagus Highway. Although this fantastic summit is the shortest of the three Moat Mountains at 2,770 feet, you get truly amazing views of the entire White Mountain Forest from the exposed and open summit. On clear days you can easily see Mt. Washington to the north.
