Mt. Ephraim is a mostly wooded peak in Springfield, Vermont. The land is privately owned, but according to the Springfield Trail Guide, the landowners have given permission for the public to engage in “hiking and quiet recreational activities” there, and we are aware that horseback riders do access the property. The land is also home to Stellafane Observatory, a mecca for amateur astronomers in the Northeast.
See pages 12 & 13 of the Springfield Trail Guide for information.
