College Woods at UNH




My daughter goes to UNH so we decided to have a bike-bonding experience while the weather was still so fine. We were able to download a map of the trails from the UNH website, but it was not particularly clear. One must get a visitor's pass to park the car (I parked by Woodside Apts.), but the University is so beautiful that biking is fun from anywhere on campus. The trailhead and kiosk is a right off College Road. You will see a railroad trestle that you pass under to get to the trailhead (just before the fire station). The trails are well-marked and well-used with some areas not easy to bike due to the roots, but most is flat and wide. The trail follows the Oyster River with a small footbridge across, but we opted to continue out onto Route 155A (across from the barns) and took a right to the dairy bar/ railroad depot where they have excellent ice cream. This is a short 1 - 2 miles trail depending on the route you take and is as easy as you make it.
