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 n

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. LRTA

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 n

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.

n TIMBER & STONE, LLC

Front Bay Trail

n 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 Hill Road. Great views of Winnipesaukee, Squam, the Ossipees, the Squam and Sandwich Ranges, more. Grade: moderate. Distance: 1.75 mi.

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

Slipper socks you don’t take off!

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.

Indoors or outdoors feet stay cozy, socks stay clean. Perfect for all who love to be cozy. Visit WinniesSocks.com to learn more.

Scenic Trail

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. 43

The Lakes Region Tour

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.

Length: 97 miles n Towns: Alton, Ashland, Center Harbor, Gilford, Holderness, Laconia, Meredith, Moultonborough, New Hampton, Ossipee, Sandwich, Tamworth, Tuftonboro and Wolfeboro n 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. n 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.

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.

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

LAKE WINNIPESAUKEE

There are 273 lakes and ponds in the NH Lakes Region alone,

ensuring plenty of fun throughout the seasons. One-sixteenth of New Hampshire is covered by water, much of it in the Lakes Region, so there’s plenty of opportunity for on-water fun in every season. The region’s largest lakes include Lake Winnipesaukee, with over 200 miles of shoreline and 274 habitable islands, Squam Lake, where On Golden Pond was filmed, Lake Winnisquam, Newfound Lake and Ossipee Lake. The smallest is Duncan Lake (114 acres), once a favorite fishing spot of Grover Cleveland (the 22nd and 24th President of the United States), who was a summer resident. LAKE WINNIPESAUKEE is located in the Lakes Region of New Hampshire at the foothills of the White Mountains; it is the largest lake in the state at 72 square miles. Communities on Lake Winnipesaukee include Laconia, Lakeport, Weirs Beach, Gilford, Alton Bay, Wolfeboro, Moultonborough, Tuftonborough, Melvin Village, Center Harbor, and Meredith. NEWFOUND LAKE, which some say is among the cleanest lakes in the world, is 4,106 acres in size and is one of the deepest lakes in New Hampshire (168 feet deep at one point, and at NEWFOUND LAKE another, 183 feet deep). This pristine lake is approximately two and a half miles wide and seven miles in length, and is fed by 8 springs; it has 22 miles of shoreline. Newfound Lake is proud to say that it is Milfoil FREE! SQUAM LAKE, the film site for On Golden Pond, is known as one of the most peaceful and pristine lakes in the country, and offers visitors plenty of opportunity to enjoy its natural beauty. Big and Little Squam lakes are naturally spring-fed and are connected by a channel in Holderness. Big Squam is six miles long, four miles wide and 98 feet deep. Little Squam is two miles long, one half mile wide and 84 feet deep.

SQUAM LAKE, CIRCA 1910

SQUAM LAKE, TODAY

LAKE WINNISQUAM, at 4,264 acres, is the third largest lake located entirely in New Hampshire. The lake is primarily fed by the outlet from Lake Winnipesaukee, and Winnisquam’s outlet is the Winnipesaukee River, which flows into the Merrimack River. Winnisquam is 10.5 miles long by 1.5 miles wide; the communities on the lake include Sanbornton, Belmont, Laconia, Tilton and Meredith.

OSSIPEE LAKE is located in the northeastern portion of the Lakes LAKE WINNISQUAM Region and has 3,092 acres. It is a quiet lake known for its fishing and proximity to the Conway area. LAKE SUNAPEE is a 4,100 acre lake surrounded by several beautiful State Parks in the shadow of Mount Sunapee and Mount Kearsarge. There is a relaxed rural feel to the area, which is dotted with quaint smaller towns. HIGHLAND LAKE is a 206 acre lake in Andover (Highland Lake Inn), known for its pristine drinking water purity, as well as being ideal for all watersports and fishing. The quaint village beach is accessible only to its residents and the Inn’s guests.

OSSIPEE LAKE

LAKE OPECHEE Opechee Bay is a 449 acre lake located in Laconia. It is located directly downstream from LAKE SUNAPEE Paugus Bay and Lake Winnipesaukee, and connects to Lake Winnisquam via a one-mile segment of the Winnipesaukee River that runs through the center of downtown Laconia.

KEZAR LAKE in North Sutton has a surface area of 182 acres and 2.1 miles of shoreline; the lake is 26 feet deep. Kezar is one of the earliest developed lakes in the area, and there are many fine older homes around the shore that create a charming atmosphere.

NORTHWOOD LAKE is a 653 acre lake located LAKE SUNAPEE in the towns of Epsom, Northwood, and a small portion in Deerfield. The lake has an average depth of 12 feet and a maximum depth of 20 feet. The lake is mesotrophic and has some excellent bass fishing. On the lake you will find a marina with a gas dock. This is a great location for all boating in the summer, while in winter the lake is dotted with bob houses; snowmobiling is popular and ice car racing is a yearly event.

Looking for a place to sit and relax for a while? You can’t beat a picnic table with a view of Lake Sunapee on a summer afternoon. Or if you’re feeling a bit more physical, a hike to the top of Mt. Major in Alton will reward you with some spectacular views of Lake Winnipesaukee and the surrounding area. VIEWS OF LAKE WINNIPESAUKEE
