Mount Misery (Lincoln, Massachusetts) Mount Misery is a hill in Lincoln, Massachusetts. The summit, at an elevation of 262 feet (79.86 meters), lies within a 227-acre area of conservation land that is owned by the town of Lincoln and managed by the Lincoln Conservation Commission

The Mount Misery Conservation area is about 2 miles south of Walden Pond in Concord, MA. It lies between Rt 126 to the east, and Fairhaven Bay, a section of the Sudbury River, to the west. The main entrance is on Rt 117, which forms the southern boundary of the area, and it can also be reached by a footpath from Old Concord Road.

Most of the conservation area, including the summit, is covered with pine forest, and the area is crossed by several trails, some of which permit dog walking and biking.

Mount Misery was well known to Henry David Thoreau, whose writings mention frequent visits to the area. It is now a popular destination for day trips from Boston.
