"Thousands of miles of trails... and not one leads to your office"

So says the New Hampshire Bureau of Trails; now go check them out! The cool air of autumn is ideal to explore the active recreation opportunities in the parks and on the many trails of the Granite State. And the scenery may just take your breath away! Enjoy hiking and biking the trails in your area or explore the State Parks and Forests. Want to get more involved? Read on to learn how you can help keep our state trails beautiful and safe.

You can help maintain New Hampshire State Park trails through the Adopt-A-Trail program. Volunteers and organizations adopt and maintain non-motorized trails in the State Park and Forest system.

Adopters participate in a one-day skills development session and make a one year commitment to maintain the trail. See the Bureau of Trails for more information and the application form. Trails are currently up for adoption in Bear Brook State Park near Concord, and in Rollins and Winslow State Parks, both near Mount Kearsarge.
