You Haven’t Lived Until You’ve Experienced This One Incredible Wildlife Refuge In New Hampshire
A lot of people talk about “these days” requiring more peace and quiet and calm. But we think people are in need of these things all the time. And if you’re in New Hampshire you’re pretty lucky that the beauty and landscape of the state offers just the kind of calm we crave. The next time you need a bit of relaxation in the form of nature make your way to the Jefferson area for a visit to this spot.
For a remote escape in Coos County make your way to the Pondicherry Wildlife Refuge. The refuge offers 6,405 acres of beauty waiting to be explored and discovered by those looking for some of the most rugged landscape in the state.
But we also love that the entire refuge offers a mix of ponds, wetlands, and forests. This is a great place to visit if you'd like to understand more about New Hampshire's ecosystem.
There are a few trails that offer access to the many far-off corners of the refuge so it's worth coming back season-after-season to check them all out.
And while some people might think exploring the outdoors is best reserved for warmer seasons, we love this place in the winter! The trails are still open and the landscape is unbeatable.
The Pondicherry Wildlife Refuge is open year-round and we love visiting each season to see just how much the landscape can change. To learn more about it you can visit the New Hampshire Audubon website. Or, check out alltrails.com to see how you can explore the area.

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.
