What a great day!!!! My husband and I ventured out to the…read moreWindham Town Forest for a nice hike with lil Jack! :) It was a little muddy and icy in some spots, but the trails for the most part were very walkable. Took some great photo shots today! There is a rusted piece of machinery that looks like was left behind with difficulty of removal. Very neat to take some vivid photos with. My husband spotted a few platforms that look like are set up for camping ... if that is the case, we are in for some camping in the summer! :) Definitely a place to go for some nice walks ... change it up with Robert Frost Farm and the Windham rail trail! And! please note that it is easy to drive right by this place ... the sign somewhat blends in with the surroundings.

I live in NH so right now walking in the woods with a big black dog is not the best idea. This…read moretrail is only a couple of miles from my house so decided to try it out. It is not a solitary walk in the woods but the few people we ran into were nice. Everyone showed proper dog etiquette. The bikes didn't bother the dog. The only spoil was some guy got off his bike , took the 2 pairs of shoes he bought, put them in his back pack and left the bags and boxes by side of trail. Some people spoil everything. I picked them up.

First of all: use google maps to get to this Forrest. It gets you right to the entrance which is…read moreeasy to find. It's a dirt lot off of Main Street. Be warned that there is a huge drop/bump to get in so you'll want to take it slow as you transition from road to dirt lot which can be tough with the traffic building behind you on Main. Ample parking and a trash can. I went on this walk alone with my two dogs. There are a lot of trail options that go on and on. I don't think I would go here alone without another person or without my dogs just because it gives the feeling of being remote and isolated at times beyond my comfort level alone - certainly not because it is unsafe. I felt safe and my encounters with others was fine. People were responsible with their dogs putting them on leash when we passed. Plenty of clean running water for the dogs to drink throughout the walk I never needed to break out the water dishes. The trails are fairly well marked and I didn't feel lost except for when I was ready to leave and just trying to make my way back to the lot. There were a ton of leaves on the trail which were slippery at times. I did fall once sliding on leaves. Decent amount of incline, decline, boulders, fallen trees, small water views, and just pure quiet. Dogs loved it.

So many trees! We lost count after about 164 or 165, I can't even remember. Then you throw in the…read morerocks, ferns and insects and it's virtually indistinguishable from a real Forrest.

I hiked the Kestrel trail - which might've just been the shortest trail I've ever done at 0.2 miles lol - but it was completely pleasant - especially on the brisk early morning. The trails were covered in crunchy leaves coated in frost - total fall vibes! My goal was to complete the other, longer trail: Professor Chandler's Long Walk trail, before the high tide rushed in but I was too late unfortunately. By the time I got to the warning sign, the water was already starting to cover the trail. All the signs at the trailhead, on their website, and at the start of the tidal area give you plenty of warning. If I had more time here, I would've timed my hike better to catch it at low tide! The part of this trail that I was able to do had a lovely wooden viewing platform with benches that overlooked the tidal grass flats. The fields were crawling with American Tree Sparrows which was exciting for me bc that was a new bird for me! The roads to the sanctuary are gravel, as is the parking lot - but they're well maintained with surprisingly no potholes or washboarding - was an easy drive! The parking lot has two entrances - one had a HUGE puddle covering it but you can still get in if you keep to the left or use the other entrance just a tad further down that was completely dry. Was a lovely sanctuary! I'll definitely try to catch it at low tide next time I'm in the area!
