Bohanan Farm is a large, privately owned, working dairy farm that has a conservation easement protecting its agricultural fields, working forests, and four miles of frontage on the Contoocook, Blackwater, and Warner Rivers. The farmers welcome public use of their network of trails, farm roads, and river frontage.

Directions: From Contoocook or Hopkinton Villages, take Penacook Road towards the Transfer Station. Parking for all trails is at the Bohanan Farm trailhead kiosk on the left after crossing the Contoocook River at Tyler Bridge (945 Penacook Road).

There are four walking routes: The Blackwater Loop with views of the Blackwater River; the Contoocook River Overlook Trail (accessed from the Blackwater Loop); the Corser Hill Loop to the hilltop cellar hole of the old Corser farmstead; and Amesbury Field Road to the Amesbury farm field at the confluence of the Warner and Contoocook Rivers. These walking routes are also popular in winter for cross-country skiing and snowshoeing.
