Hiking and BikingPlymouth and the surrounding area has much to offer the hiker and the biker. Whether you are a professional, an amateur, or somewhere in between, there is truly something for everyone in central New Hampshire. Hiking New Hampshire Heritage Trail is a 230 mile walking trail that stretches across New Hampshire from its border with Massachusetts to its border with Canada. Plymouth's portion of the trail is a 5.6 mile long walking loop with sixteen points of interest: Plymouth Regional Senior Center / Railroad Depot Draper & Maynard building Asquamchumaukee Rock Ward Hill Frost Cottage Round's Hall Plymouth Historical Society Holmes's Rock Silver Center for the Arts Plymouth Town Hall Plymouth Congregational Church Plymouth Common: (Kneeling Boyscout, Nathaniel Hawthorne Plaque & The Bandstand) Pease Public Library Fox Pond Park The trail begins north of the Plymouth Regional Senior Center on Green Street. Please use caution when walking the trail. Brochure maps are available at the Plymouth Area Welcome Center. Plymouth Mountain lies in Plymouth, northeast of Newfound Lake. The true summit is wooded, but nearby ledges afford excellent views. The Plymouth Mountain trail provides access to the summit from the town of Hebron. The Fauver Link Trail to Sutherland trail is a newer trail from Plymouth on the north side of the mountain and makes a longer, but more satisfying ascent from the traditional route. It also provides access to a knob called "Pike's Peak", a ledge with an excellent view north and east. Walter Newton Natural Area 163 acres of nature preserve with a 3 1/2 mile loop to Rainbow Falls waterfall along the Ruth Walter and Glove Hollow Trails. Perfect for families For the more intrepid, there is now easy and full access to the Ken Sutherland Trail to the summit of Plymouth Mountain via the Fauver Preserve on Hebron Road.
Biking Lakes Region With over 200 lakes and ponds, the Lakes Region of New Hampshire is set against a beautiful backdrop of rolling hills and mountains. Roads wind along lakes and rivers offering breathtaking views. The terrain is rolling to moderately hilly, and traffice varies from light to moderate in the spring and fall, but can be very heavy during the summer vacation season.
White Mountain Region Home to the 780,000 acre White Mountain National Forest, this region offers some of the best and most physically challenging biking. Many of the biking roads go over "notches", which often involve several miles of steady climbing with several miles of descent. This region is generally regarded as the most scenic in the state of New Hampshire. Maps can be obtained at the Plymouth Area Welcome Center. RESOURCES |
