Description
It's unclear if this is still a trail that is maintained by the Harris Center or another organization, since it has a different style blaze. The trail starts off Stoddard Road (Route 123), and reaches a fork. Traveling left will take you around the loop to Welch Farm Road. Along this woods road, continue to follow the red blazes. There is a yellow blaze trail, that appears to enter a Society for the Protection of NH Forests Property, along this road. The trail leaves Welch Farm Road (to the left) and follows a stone wall to Prospect Hill Road. Follow the road for a short ways, then look for the rest of the trail at a driveway (to the right). Here, the trail is less maintained and may be difficult to follow (in places). Watch out for Poison Ivy, through this section. Eventually, the trail reaches the junction of the loop, again.
