Description
The Lee Town Forest Loop begins from several public access points in Lee, New Hampshire, including the main parking area on Recycling Center Road and secondary trailheads at the Lee Library, Public Safety Complex, and Rita Lane. From any entrance, the route follows a gently undulating network of interconnected trails through a classic northern hardwood forest. Key segments include Roundabout, Bog Trail, Crosswalk, and Wheelwright Pond Trail. Trail junctions are clearly marked with color-coded blazes that match the official map. After a short distance, hikers encounter features like old stone walls, woodland benches, and seasonal vernal pools. The trail near Lee Bog may be wet in spring and fall, while the path along Wheelwright Pond offers peaceful views of the water and surrounding wetlands. Most of the route stays on well-packed earth, though low areas can be muddy or icy depending on the season. This is a quiet and accessible year-round hike suitable for families, trail runners, or anyone seeking easy woods walking near the Seacoast.
