WOLFEBORO INN

Laconia Area Trails

 THE WOW TRAIL

Paved, 10 ft. wide multi-use pathway parallels the existing RR corridor in the city of Laconia. The 2.5 mile trail travels from Elm Street in Lakeport to the Belmont town line and connects to the new 1.7 mile Winnisquam Scenic Trail which leads to the Agway store on Rte. 3 near the Mosquito Bridge.

Northern Rail Trail

58-mile multi-use trail running from Lebanon to Boscawen using the right-ofway of the Boston and Maine Railroad’s former Northern Line. Numerous activity options; best used March to November. Dogs (on leash) can use the trail, which follows the route of the B & M Railroad along the Mascoma River. Family friendly. Trail end points: Spencer Street in Lebanon and River Road near the Hannah Dustin Park & Ride in Boscawen.

Plymouth Area Trails

 FOX PARK

The singletrack trails are designed with intermediate riders in mind, and feature a mix of flow and technical riding. You will encounter roots, rocks and steep terrain on these trails. For walkers, the doubletrack trails are most suitable.  Parking: There is a large parking lot on Prince Haven Drive, off Langdon Street.

 GYROSCOPE TRAILS

Pemigewasset Riverside Park, on the Holderness side of the river, has long been known to mountain bikers as the Gyroscope Trails, or Gyro. The trail network is unique in New Hampshire for its absence of rocks, making it a true beginner network. Winding, twisted singletrack; a great place to develop turning skills.

 PUMP TRACK

The Pump Track is a great place for beginners to develop their skills. A starting ramp and a figure-eight track of rollers and berms winds through the old concrete supports (which also serve as a public graffiti canvas).

Wolfeboro Area Trails

 BRIDGE FALLS PATH

This .5 mile multi-use trail connects to a regional network of multi-use trails. The Bridge Falls path provides a scenic walk, run or bike along the shores of Back Bay in between the Railroad Depot downtown to Wolfeboro Falls. After crossing Rte. 28, it becomes the Cotton Valley Trail and continues toward Albee Beach, Wakefield and beyond. Popular access points are at the Wolfeboro Railroad Depot, Albee Beach and Fernald Crossing.

 COTTON VALLEY TRAIL

This year-round trail connects with the Bridge Falls Path to provide multi-use rail trail access through Wolfeboro, along Crescent Lake and Lake Wentworth shores and to Wakefield and beyond. Access points: Albee Beach, Mast Landing, Fernald Crossing and from the Bridge Falls Path.



ELIE’S WOODLAND WALK

On Rte. 109, at Ryefield Marsh near the north end of Lake Wentworth. Self guided nature trail at a beautiful marsh that feeds into Lake Wentworth. Great wildlife viewing: herons, beaver activity, deer, moose and more.

 FRONT BAY CONSERVATION AREA

Wooded parcel of land on Bay Street along the shore of what is now known as “Back Bay,” offers secluded paths, birding, wildlife viewing and picnicking. New (2012) trails system, picnic pavilion and kayak/canoe landing. A great place to enjoy a quiet walk in one of Wolfeboro’s secret gems along the water.

Trails of Red Hill Conservation Area Moultonborough & Sandwich

These trails are maintained by volunteers and are generally in good condition.

Red Hill (Fire Tower) Trail

Main trail to the summit fire tower. Trailhead on Red Cabin

Trail

Trail branches off Red Hill Trail at the Horne cellar hole, about 0.5 mi. from the trailhead; instead of going left on the Red Hill Trail, go straight ahead; after 0.2 mi. at a junction with a snowmobile trail, go left; in another 0.5 mi., the trail reaches a nicely built, fairly well-preserved hunter’s cabin.

Grade: moderate. Distance: 1.3 mi.

Eagle

Cliff Trail

Trail provides a route to Red Hill fire tower via Eagle Cliff, providing views of Squam Lake and the Squam Range from Eagle Cliff along the way, and excellent views at summit. Grade: easy to moderate, except at the cliff, where it is steep. Distance: 2.6 mi.

Teedie

Trail

This short trail from the Eagle Cliff Trail to Bean Rd./ Squam Lake Rd. can be used to avoid a potentially dangerous descent of the cliff in wet weather when coming down the Eagle Cliff Trail. It can also be used to make a loop with the westernmost part of the Eagle Cliff Trail and Bean Rd./Squam Lake Rd.

Grade: easy. Distance: 0.6 mi.

Sheridan

Woods Trail

Trail runs from trailhead on Sheridan Rd to high ground on southeastern Red Hill, with views of Sandwich Dome and Mt. Israel at the highest point. Grade: moderate, though most elevation is gained fairly early on. Distance: 2.5 mi.

Scenic Trail

This trail branches off the Sheridan Woods Trail about 0.5 mi above the trailhead and rejoins the trail in about 0.5 mi., providing an alternate route for part of the climb. Excellent views from two outlooks: across Garland Pond to the Ossipee Range, and to the Sandwich Range. Grade: moderate to steep. Distance: 0.5 mi.

MOUNTAINS ATTRACTIONS

The Lakes Region Scenic Byway

Length: 97 miles  Towns: Alton, Ashland, Center Harbor, Gilford, Holderness, Laconia, Meredith, Moultonborough, New Hampton, Ossipee, Sandwich, Tamworth, Tuftonboro and Wolfeboro  Highlights: Circumnavigate Lake Winnipesaukee, New Hampshire’s largest lake, and stop for a mountain hike, a walk through the region’s friendly downtown areas, or a visit to a historical museum. Or cruise the Big Lake on the M/S Mount Washington.  Website: lakesregion.org

The Lakes Region Scenic Byway circles Lake Winnipesaukee, the largest and most popular lake in New Hampshire. Beginning in Alton, the route follows NH Rte. 11 north through Alton Bay up through Gilford. This western side of the lake features exceptional views of both the lake and the Ossipee Range, and offers numerous recreational opportunities. Hike to the summit of Mt. Major for wonderful views of the Lake and surrounding mountain ranges, or stop at Ellacoya State Park for a picnic or a swim.

Weirs Beach, with its amusement parks, arcades, and shopping, is one of the most popular family resort areas in the state. This area of the Lakes Region Tour is always bustling with activity. A few miles to the north, you’ll view scenic gateways to Meredith‘s traditional New England village with a panorama of Lake Winnipesaukee and the White Mountains to the north.

The route can be followed via Rte. 25 to the quaint lakeside village of Center Harbor and on to Moultonborough before choosing to either continue on Rte. 25 to explore the Ossipee Lake area or travel south on NH Rte. 109 to experience the charm of the less developed eastern side of Lake Winnipesaukee to Wolfeboro, known as the “Oldest Summer Resort in America.”

The Branch River Valley Trail journeys through the small rural towns of Wakefield and Milton, and on to the Maine border. Take a walking or bike tour through the town of Wakefield or learn more about the agricultural heritage of New Hampshire at the New Hampshire Farm Museum.

The Lakes Loop

Length: 134 miles (approximately)

From the town docks in Meredith on the shores of Lake Winnipesaukee, turn east on NH Rte. 25 to Center Harbor and Moultonborough, where you’ll head south on NH Rte. 109, a windy route that offers frequent glimpses of the Big Lake as it takes you through Wolfeboro (the “Oldest Summer Resort in America”).

Outside Wolfeboro, Rte. 109 turns east, passing Wentworth State Park, to Sanbornville where you join Rte. 153.

Go north to Conway to join the Multi-Notch Mountain Ride, or to continue the Lakes Loop, follow it south through Union to Farmington and Rte.11 East in Rochester. In Rochester, turn southwest on Rte. 202A to Northwood, where you’ll briefly turn east on Rte. 4 to pick up Rte. 152 south. In Nottingham, pick up Rte. 156 to Raymond where you’ll head north on Rte. 107 through Deerfield, Epsom, Pittsfield, Barnstead, Gilmanton, and Laconia. Turn onto Rte. 3, which will take you back to Meredith.

You can see a lot on a Lakes Region Tour—just take a look!
