The Sandy Point Identification Trail In New Hampshire Leads To Incredibly Scenic Views

As spring hits New Hampshire, there are more and more ways to get outside to enjoy the changing weather. We love planning a hike a few days in advance to give us some time to get excited. And this one is especially worth getting excited about! Enjoy the view of wetlands, trees and try to spot wildlife on this easily accessed route.

The Great Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve in Greenland is a wonderful way to explore the natural world in New Hampshire.

And the Sandy Point Identification Trail is the best way to do it!

The trail begins in the Sandy Point Discovery Center parking lot. There's also a gift shop and restrooms here.

The area was created by the last glacier about 15,000 years ago. And today the inland saltwater body meets up with a few different freshwater parts of the Piscataqua River.

The trail itself is less than a mile, about .7-miles, and the boardwalk is about 1,700-feet.

The looped trail leads through mixed habitats and includes placards with information about what's surrounding visitors.

The accessible boardwalk makes for an easy walk and opens up to sweeping views of the bay.

This is a great place to visit if you love wildlife and it should especially nice in the spring during the annual Monarch butterfly migration we recently told you about.
