An outstanding trail running resource has been added to our already rich Upper Valley options. The Trescot Ridge Water Reservoir land is laced with roads and trails with fantastic distance signage. Thank you Hanover Conservancy and Trails Committee. Highlights:

Great maps like this one. Available online or free at the trailhead kiosks.

Signage with distance at every trail crossing. Notice the wide gravel road for social distancing and 1.2 miles out Knapp Road to Ascutney View Trail.

Fun History about the Poor Farm, the reservoirs and the No. 4 School House as seen photographed in 1912. It moved when the students moved. Dorcas and her students removed the brush at old site.

Mixed trails including gravel roads, single track built for bikes, hiking trails and logging roads. Connections to Storrs Pond/Oak Hill system, Trescot Ridge Loop and Pineo Hill loop.

Wild things. Two daughters of Mink the famous bear den here. Hanover hunters have harvested the most deer in the state of NH since this sanctuary was opened. Deer ticks follow the still large deer herds.

Views. Hill climbers will find them and can gaze south from the Ascutney View Trail to one of their other favorite training grounds.
