About the Hike:
The Forest Society's McCabe Forest contains about two miles of trails around the Contoocook River. The main trail runs the length of the property to make a pleasant river walk. There are many possibilities to make a loop hike, but all the trails are unnamed and blazed in the same color. The trail network is very confusing, so we recommend you either take a photo of the kiosk trail map or just do an out-and-back hike along the river.
