The hike is a leisurely walk along the trail and will return on the same path to the parking lot, where hot chocolate and snacks will be served.

This event is free and open to the public. Families are welcome, but please leave pets home for this hike. A headlamp or flashlight is recommended in the event of cloudy skies.

Please RSVP to City Planner Steve Bird at s.bird@dover.nh.gov or 603-516-6008. If the hike is cancelled due to weather, notifications will be sent to those who have RSVP'd and posted on the Dover Open Lands Committee Facebook page.

Directions: From downtown, head northwest on Sixth Street, left onto County Farm Road, left on Watson Road. The parking lot is on Watson Road, about half a mile south of the County Farm Road junction.

The Dover Open Lands Committee consists of local volunteers and city staff who work with willing landowners to conserve Dover’s important natural and cultural resources. These resources include drinking water supplies, farm and forest lands, critical fish and wildlife habitat, and the preservation of our community's character for current and future generations to enjoy.
