Knight's Hill Nature Park

Knight’s Hill Nature Park begins from two main access points off County Road and Parkside Road in New London, New Hampshire. The park features a network of interconnected forest and meadow trails that can be combined for hikes of varying lengths. Visitors can follow color-blazed routes like the orange-marked Forest and Field Loop or the blue-blazed Glen Loop Trail for quiet nature walks through mixed woods and open terrain. The red-blazed C.O.R.E. Loop offers a longer route with gentle elevation changes, while the double red-blazed Town Overlook Trail leads to a short spur with partial views. The yellow-blazed Birdwatch Trail features interpretive markers and is a good option for slower-paced walks focused on wildlife and birdwatching. Trail surfaces are packed earth, with occasional bog bridging in wetter areas. Trails are easy to moderate, making them accessible for most hikers looking for casual day hikes in southern New Hampshire. The system connects to the larger Lyon Brook Trail for those looking to extend their outing. Dogs and bikes are not allowed, and no permits or fees are required. The variety of trail types, habitat diversity, and loop options make this a good destination for short educational hikes or low-elevation exploration.
