 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
The trails here are marked ok but could be better. Since Perimeter Trail overlaps with so many other trails, it would be good if it had its own unique blazing (example: Belknap Range Trail). |

 | Dog-Related Notes: |
Seems to be a popular spot! All of the doggos I saw today were well-mannered and having fun. |

Perimeter Trail is a loop route of just under five miles that runs through Stratham Hill Park, Stratham Town Forest, and various conserved land parcels. It's quite a hodge-podge as it uses segments of many different trails that are not all marked well. I think I stayed on it but might need to visit again to verify a few details.
After I did this long loop I also did the short loop described in the SNHTG to check a few things.
Excellent views from the observation tower today with Mt. Washington being clearly visible. No snow or ice at all here, and barely any mud. I welcome the return of bare ground! |
