Mount Chocorua. Mount Chocorua is a 3,490 ft mountain in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, the easternmost peak of the Sandwich Range.
Although the mountain is not outstanding for its elevation, it is very rugged and has excellent views of the surrounding lakes, mountains, and forests. Mount Chocorua's bare summit can be seen from almost every direction and identified from many points throughout central New Hampshire and western Maine.
Many hiking trails ascend the mountain. Scenic Chocorua Lake lies directly to the south.
Mount Chocorua is in the town of Albany and is the easternmost peak of the Sandwich Range in New Hampshire's White Mountain National Forest. The Sandwich Range is located north of the Lakes Region and south of the Kancamagus Highway.
