If you enjoy getting outside to explore the hills, forests and rivers of southern New Hampshire, many of the lands protected by the Piscataquog Land Conservancy offer recreational trails. The properties highlighted below welcome the public, are family-friendly, and have well-marked trails.
All are either owned by PLC or by towns. Some properties may have special-use restrictions to protect important natural resources, so please adhere to any posted guidelines. For questions about the guidelines or the trails on our preserves, please contact PLC’s Stewardship Specialist Dan Ewald.
