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
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.

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. 41
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. 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.

Planning a party? Need a caterer? Check out this guide to help you plan for a successful event! 1. Who’s coming, and what’s the occasion? Have an idea of your expected guest count. You may not know exactly how many guests, but a small range is helpful: 25-30 or 80-100. Also, share with your caterer the occasion and group dynamic—mostly adults? or will there be lots of children? Does your group have small appetites, or are they hearty eaters? If you don’t know, your caterer can help! 2. When? Select a date and time for your event. Vendors often have different pricing based on peak or off-peak demand; if you’re considering an event during a popular time like a graduation weekend, the earlier you plan, the better! 3. Where? Where will your event be held? Travel time— and corresponding people power and labor costs—can impact your caterer’s pricing. Also, does your venue offer commercial kitchen equipment, or will your caterer be cooking at their facility and transporting food? 4. Communicate your vision. You may not know precisely what time you want to eat, but chances are you know how you want your event to feel. Is this a formal affair, a business event to impress clients, or a laid-back celebration?
70
5. What are your service needs? Are you looking to avoid cooking for 50 of your closest family and friends, but don’t mind the clean-up? Do you want staff to assist with service and clean-up? 6. Do you have a food preference? In addition to reviewing supplied menu info, let your caterer know if you expect any guests with food allergies or dietary restrictions so you can be proactive about menu selections. 7. Drinks anyone? Consider whether you’ll need beverages provided by your caterer. If you’re interested in alcohol service, check with your caterer to make sure you are in compliance with NH Liquor laws, and find out what permits may be required in your city or town. 8. Let’s talk money! Catering events are often centered around celebrations, but that doesn’t mean you’ve accounted for them in your monthly budget. Before calling, consider your budget goals, and don’t be shy about sharing them with your caterer. Often, a caterer can help guide you toward the menu and service choices that align best with your financial goals. Thanks for the above to Megan Fournier, Director of Catering & Events, T-BONES Meats, Sweets & Catering. WeCaterGreater.com
