Pondicherry Wildlife Refuge
Flat 1.5-mile rail bed walk to wildlife viewing platform at Cherry Pond visited by 234 bird species, including rare black-backed woodpecker and yellow-billed flycatcher. One-mile added loop to Little Cherry Pond. Ten-minute drive. Jefferson.
Weeks State Park
Park at lot on Route 3 and walk up road 1.5 miles to top of Mt. Prospect. (Drive up in warmer months.) Stone fire tower and mansion at summit, on 420 acres. Free nature programs on Thursday evenings in summer. Ten-minute drive. Lancaster.
Pond Brook Falls
Hop the rocks, take a dip and sit under a cascade at beautiful Pond Brook Falls. Five-minute easy walk to brookside, then follow upstream. Fifty-minute drive. Nash Stream Road in Stark.
Kilburn Crags
Gentle 1.5-mile round trip to rocky outcropping on shoulder of Walker Mountain with fine views of Littleton. Rte. 18/135 off I-93 exit 43.
Mossy Glen Loop & Nepalese Bridge
Stroll through lovely woods in Randolph, across a small Nepalese-inspired footbridge over Carlton Brook. Forty-foot waterfall at Mossy Glen.
The Horn
Four-mile uncrowded hike passes remote Unknown Pond. Great views after scrambling up final rocky summit at 3,905 feet.
North Percy Peak
A favorite trail for locals, the 2.2-mile hike to the flat, rocky summit is steep in places.
The final scramble up the slabs is not advisable if the rocks are wet. Delicious wild blueberries on top in the fall. Loop trail makes it a 6.7-mile hike.
Caps Ridge Trail to Mount Jefferson
Trailhead to 5,715-foot summit reached by Jefferson Notch Road, which is closed from November to May. Trail is 2.5 miles, with last steep mile above treeline and exposed to often harsh weather. Incredible views of Presidentials from the third highest.
Ice Gulch & Fairy Spring
Giant angular boulders loom atop the brook that forms the Moose River in Randolph. Thread your way down, around and through the rocky maze to Fairy Spring. Winter snow remains in crevasses even in summer.
Devil’s Hopyard
Dark and eerie, this narrow boulder-strewn ravine with feathery mosses and gnarled conifers is reached from a trail on the shore of South Pond in Stark. It’s about 1.7 miles in to a dead-end.
Devil’s Slide
It’s a one-hour fairly gradual hike up to this sheer cliff overlooking the picture book village of Stark. Keep your eyes peeled for a 12-year-old male peregrine falcon, which lives among the outcroppings.
