Access to Nature
Places to Learn and Play
At the Upper Valley Land Trust one of our strategic focus areas is access to nature. We make it a priority that the public has access to as many of our conserved areas as possible. The trails below, and other forms of access, are now owned and managed by a variety of private landowners, town and regional commissions, neighborhood groups, UVLT staff, and volunteers. Please respect all signage and stay on the trails so that we can ensure access for everyone.
Trail Use Guidelines
- Carry out what you carry in.
- Stay on the trail and use only designated trailhead parking areas.
- Stay off trails during spring melt, when soils are soft and easily eroded.
- Be respectful of other trail users and be courteous to trail neighbors.
- Control your dog(s). Do not allow dogs to disturb livestock, wildlife, or sensitive natural areas. Pets are not allowed on some trails.
- Close farm gates behind you.
- For your safety during hunting seasons, wear blaze orange.
- Follow Leave No Trace guidelines.
While these trails are available for community use free of charge, their maintenance depends on the good stewardship and financial support of users. Please consider supporting UVLT’s trails program by making a membership gift to the Upper Valley Land Trust. Please contact UVLT Stewardship Coordinator Jason Berard (603-643-6626) to report trail maintenance needs or recommendations.
