These 6 New Hampshire Forest Trails Will Bring Out Your Adventurous Side
Are your hiking shoes feeling a little lonely? There are a lot of stunning areas in New Hampshire with forest trails to explore at your leisure. If you need a little bit of adventure, start here first! Pick and choose the adventure that suits you best, and planning falls into place around it. The hardest part is choosing which trail to take first!
This easy-peasy loop trail is only 3 miles long, and takes about an hour of hiking to finish. Though this is a trail including a good amount of forested area, you'll enjoy the waterside views as well. Little Harbor and the rest of the ocean is here to make things extra beautiful when you leave the trees!
Everyone loves waterfalls, right? Well if you would like a short and beautiful hike with plenty of interesting scenery, this gorge trail is here for you. Coming out of the trees, you'll find wooden pathways and rocks on either side of you. There is an entrance fee that is a bit more than most are used to paying, but it's worth every dollar to see such a unique area.
Speaking of waterfalls, there's never a day where a waterfall isn't a beautiful thing. This 1.3 mile trail takes on average just a half hour, and it's a half hour well spent. It's just so beautiful in the trees!
This trail is much less rural than other areas, but in a forested location nonetheless. The trail follows the edge of the pond and the tree lined paths are stunning the whole way.
This beautiful loop goes a bit higher than the others, coming up above the trees just enough to see the water below. It takes about an hour to traverse the 1.8 mile trail, but every step is worthwhile.
There are a lot of conservation areas that are beautiful, but Wildcat Falls is worth visiting. The 2.2 miles of trail is stunning, and has little to no elevation gain over the duration. It's just you, the scenery, and the river.
If adventure is calling your name, grab your bucket list and start planning a road trip! These trails won’t hike themselves, after all.
