Clark Pond Hike

Join us for an easy hike along the lowlands loop trail.

Easy Hike: 1.5 miles along a lowlands loop trail.
Sunday July 21 hike on trails near Clark Pond
Meeting time:  1:30 PM.
Place: New London, Bog Road downhill from Old Main Street, not far from Exit 11 off I-89.
This is an EASY 1.5 mi. walk on short trails built over the past 3 years on land acquired by the Town of New London and placed in a permanent conservation easement with Ausbon Sargent Land Preservation Trust (ASLPT).

Clark Pond and Messer Pond in New London are part of a watershed that feeds into Lyon Brook  south of NH 11 and then to Kezar Lake in North Sutton. It is a beautiful, short trail system along lowlands tucked between the Town business district on NH 114 and the I-89 corridor. Count the number of bridges Dan and his helpers have built along the trails.  Dan will be out of town until Saturday.  His phone: 763-5320. No need to call. Just show up.

Our Local Trails Need Your Help

Building a Trail work Community

The need is never-ending to identify and encourage new volunteers who can help the SRKG build and maintain trails.

P1020695The Greenway would like to bring more volunteers “Out of the woodwork and into the woods” during the Summer-Fall of 2013. The Greenway working together with local Conservation Commissions, the Ausbon Sargent Land Trust and the AMC have put together these great workshops.
