This Easy Fall Hike In New Hampshire Is Under 2 Miles And You’ll Love Every Step You Take
For the last few weeks we’ve known that this fall will be one of the most impressive when it comes to changing colors. We’ve already seen some peak foliage in parts of New Hampshire and other parts are seeing vibrant yellows and reds. This fall is one for the books and we want to maximize every day of it! This easy fall hike in New Hampshire is a great way to do that. It’s under two miles and provides wonderful views of forest and river.
The Gonic Trails, maintained by Waste Management can be found in Rochester in the Mount Isinglas Recreational Area.
Luanne’s Lane will take a little longer to hike as it's 3.5 miles each way.
We love both Locke's Local and Watson's Way for their ease in navigating and short distance. They're great for little legs and those who are just looking for a short trip into nature before returning to a bustling day.
You'll spend your time marveling at how something so beautiful could be located in such close proximity to the Turnkey Landfill, but Waste Management has done a wonderful job giving back to the environment and ensuring that this area is preserved for visitors (and wildlife!) to enjoy.
Of course we think you should make this trip now for the beautiful fall foliage, but note that they're open year round for hiking, snow shoeing, biking and other recreation.
Michelle has lived in many places, but counts Maine as one of the best. In addition to the smell of ocean water in the air on rainy days in Portland, she loves puppies, photography, funny people, the Maine Red Claws, traveling, fresh tomatoes, Cambodia and filling out forms.
