If you go up Ossipee Park Road (not Ossipee Mountain Rd) to the north of the main Castle in The Clouds entrance on rte 171, you will find a hiker parking lot outside the gate, no entry fee. Walk past the gate, and just over the hill is the fish pond. The trail up Mt. Roberts (2.5 miles, but great views) starts to the left, first following the edge of a horse pasture. Off the right rear (southeast) of the pond is the start of one of the trails that provide very easy walking up into the woods and eventually going all over the property around the west side of the Ossipee mountains. A trail map is posted by the pond where the trail starts.
