TRAILS ARE IN GOOD SHAPE
Spring time is here and the trails are waiting for you to come get your shoes dirty! You will find a mixed bag of trail conditions typical of spring in New Hampshire. Most trails are clear, but with the melting snow and warmer temps expect a few wet spots and muddy areas along the way.
Be prepared with proper footwear and perhaps a walking stick or trekking poles.
Please be mindful and take care not to stray from the trails as this may disturb some important habitats, nesting sites and NEW growth trying to become established.
Thank you - ENJOY!
,
Grab your gear and GET OUTSIDE ON THE TRAILS!
- Trails are well-maintained and groomed year round.
- Footwear appropriate for trails is recommended.
- Winter temperatures can be unpredictable so you may want to dress in layers. Extremely cold temperatures requires covering up exposed skin as much as possible to avoid frost bite.
- There are a few "blaze orange" vests available at the Visitor's Sign-in Kiosk for our guests to wear on the trails if they wish to borrow one. Please return them to the Visitor's Kiosk.
- As always, please remember to sign in at the Visitor's Kiosk.
- REMINDER: RIVER TRAIL is for "snowshoe ONLY" in winter.
Join us soon and enjoy the beautiful CSVW Trails, Teacup Lake, gardens, birds and wildlife!
