Knight Nubble is a forested peak tucked away in a mossy area of the Mansell - Bernard summit region. The overgrown terrain makes this area a unique change from the bare bedrock of much of the rest of the park. There is an overlook to the east of the peak that offers views toward the center of the island. Knight Nubble makes a great place to stop for a picnic before continuing up the ridge. The ascent is a steep ladder of natural roots from the east.

Hiking

a beautiful path leads to this point - alternating soft moss and flat rocks, my descent was quite steep so I would recommend the steep path in reverse.
