Hiking
Poverty Mountain stands at 814 feet and is a great, remote-feeling mountain even though it's just a short distance east of the town of Amherst. The most popular way to get up to the summit is via the Poverty Mountain trail, but many often make a loop by linking it with the Poverty Ridge Run and the Middle Access Road.
