It might be in the middle of the Midwest but pleasantly-sized Lincoln has museums of merit, historic sights and is but a short trip away from parks, wildlife and Homestead National Monument.
The trail begins at the Champney Falls Parking Lot. 10 miles west of Route 16 on the south side of the Kancamagus Highway.

The Champney Falls Trail begins by the information board in the parking area. After crossing the footbridge over Twin Brook, the trail will turn sharply to the right. Follow the easy grade of an old logging road to Champney Brook. At 1.4 miles, a loop trail will branch off on the left to scenic Champney and Pitcher Falls. In .3 mile the loop will reconnect with the Champney Falls Trail, which becomes steeper. You will reach the first set of switchbacks at 2.4 miles. At 3.0 miles the Middle Sister cutoff leads to Middle Sister Trail. The Chimney Falls Trail will reach a saddle and pass the Middle Sister Trail on the left. Soon the Champney Falls Trail ends at the junction of the Piper Trail, which will lead you to the summit in .06 mile.
