The Pickering Ponds Walking Trail In New Hampshire Offers A Relaxing Way To Enjoy Views Of The Cocheco River
Getting outside is one of the best ways to clear your head and get some perspective. In fact, we’ve always found that immersing ourselves in nature leads to less stress. We love New Hampshire’s many hiking trails but lacing up a heavy pair of boots for a challenging hike isn’t the only way to do it. This trail offers lots of beauty and the best way to enjoy it is by walking.
Located in the Gonic area of Rochester, you'll find lovely little Pickering Pond just waiting to be explored.
This is a great place to see wildflowers and spot local birds. In fact, this might be one of our favorite spots to take in all the best elements of nature in New Hampshire.
The Pickering Ponds Loop is beautiful all the time, but people say it’s best from April through October. There are a few different trails here, so be sure to check out the official Rochester website here to learn more. No matter when you do it, always be mindful of the weather. If conditions are wet or snowy, be sure to take extra safety measures. You can learn more about the route by visiting this page on alltrails.com.
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.
