Crown Hill - Noyes Loop

The Crown Hill – Noyes Trail System begins from a small parking area on East Road near the junction with Crown Hill Road in Atkinson, New Hampshire. This network of easy to moderate trails weaves through rolling hills, quiet hardwood forest, and conservation land marked by old stone walls, small brooks, and historic sites. From the trailhead kiosk, hikers can follow a series of interconnected paths—many of them former woods roads—forming a customizable route. While the main trails are well-trodden, numerous side loops and junctions can make navigation tricky without a map or GPS. Stay on marked trails and consult the posted map before starting out. The route includes access to notable landmarks such as the tri-town boundary marker and the Noyes Rock Shelter. Some sections cross over boardwalks or soft, damp ground, especially after rain. Open to hiking, mountain biking, and trail running, this area is a favorite among locals looking for a short, peaceful outing. Dogs are permitted on leash or under voice control. The trail system is open year-round, but visitors should be aware of possible hunting activity during the fall season. Crown Hill – Noyes offers a mellow hike with subtle historical features and quiet forest charm.
