Trails through the woods and by the water!

The trails at Vaughan Woods are lovely. They go along the Piscataqua River and through the woods. Long enough and with enough hilly sections to get your blood flowing but nothing too daunting or too long. Great for snowshowing too!

Nice walk in the woods

Shady walk in woods along river called River Run, very nice. Park is not too big but a few loop trails and a moderate work out.

Challenging hike . . .

This is a woody hiking area located near the water. The water is easy to see through the trees as you hike. The hiking path is hilly and shaded. This is a very enjoyable hike in the afternoon.
