Rumney mosquitoes/black flies?

Hi all,

What is the mosquito and black fly (if any) season in Rumney? Is it similar to Pawtuckaway? We are considering going at the end of the week June9-12. THanks in advance.

They exist, they bite, they hate bug dope

They are present, but far less severe than at P way. Most crags have black flies but not mosquitoes.

They're out, but not terrible. Being some bug stuff and a good attitude and you'll be fine.

I was actually wondering the same thing as we are planning to head up to Jackson NH next week to hike and HOPING to climb, (to make a pit stop at Rumney on the way!!??) Will be a first time for us.

Just got back (Sunday) from a weekend trip to North Conway. Coming from the ADKs, I went prepared for a blood bath with netting, spray, layers, etc. I was pleasantly surprised that I only used bug dope one afternoon and it was really only because I was wearing shorts.

Even in the ADK, bugs are mild this season so far. You can thank this whirl-wind of freezing to 90s and back again temperatures for that!

Good to hear! Thanks for the info.
