About this Location

This property consists of approximately 97 acres, including river frontage on the Pemigewasset River, and was purchased by the Town of New Hampton from the Treitman Family Trust in 2002 for the placement of future municipal building(s), recreational fields, and trails and for the future public needs of the community.

The Trail is located at the southeast corner of the Public Safety Building parking lot on Intervale Drive, just off NH-104 near the Pemigewasset River bridge.

The trail leads approximately 2,323 feet (0.44 miles) to an overlook along the Pemigewasset River, which has several benches and signage that includes a history of the river and area. The visitor can either return via the same trail or veer left at Station #12 to take the loop back, which intersects with the trail below Station #4, returning to the kiosk for a total of 4,718 feet (0.89 miles).

The 20-station Fit-Trail is an outdoor exercise system incorporated into the Nature-Fitness Trail. It contains instruction signs and exercise equipment designed for the novice or conditioned athlete. Please be advised the trail is very steep between Stations #15 and #17, with limited accessibility.

The second loop, known as the “Hiking Path,” does not have an improved surface and has steep slopes and uneven ground, which may limit accessibility.
