Trail Guide   

An extensive state-owned tract of land, with woods, fields and river front, lies off back roads in Dover, next to the Bellamy River. One of the larger public woodlands in the area, this is a 400-acre tract acquired by the state in 1990 and 1992, and now run by New Hampshire Fish and Game.

Walking here can take you across a variety of terrain, some of which is still farmed, some of which goes to and along the banks of the Bellamy. Due to its back road location, it's not very heavily used. A nice spot.
