Squam Lakes Trails

The Squam Lakes Association maintains the Chamberlain-Reynolds Memorial Forest Trails and the Belknap Woods Trails. Trail maps cost $6 and help pay for the cost of maintaining trails. We have some reprints of these trails here, but they are not as detailed as the for cost maps. To get a proper trail map, visit The Squam Lakes Association. The maps below are GIFs. You can also print the maps from The Squam Lakes Web Site

Its shorefront area and trails are managed for public use by the Squam Lakes Association. There are several beaches, a swamp board walk and over 4 miles of hiking trails. The trails start on College Road in Center Harbor, between Rte 25-B and Route 3 and boat access is available at docks shown below. Dogs are allowed but must be on a leash at all times and you must clean up after your pet.

Lakes Region Conservation Trust 

Center Harbor Woods

Center Harbor Woods is a 224-acre scenic, natural and recreational resource lying equidistant from Lake Winnipesaukee and Squam Lake.  This land was conserved in 2010 through a unique collaboration of three conservation partners - the Lakes Region Conservation Trust (LRCT), which owns the land, the Squam Lakes Conservation Society (SLCS) and the Town of Center Harbor, which hold the conservation easement.  

Center Harbor Woods trails may be accessed from three points:

Center Harbor Neck Road:  The Trailhead Parking lot is located on Center Harbor Neck Road, accross from NH Audubon's Proctor Sanctuary.  The Red Trail enters the property from the parking lot; the Blue Trail enters the property slightly down the hill from the lot.

LRCT Headquarters, Route 25:B:  The Blue Trail can be reached from the rear of LRCT's property.

High Haith Road:  The trailhead is located 0.5 mile northwest of the High Haith Road/Bean Road intersection. The Orange Trail enters the property from this point.  The Pine Hill Conservation Area is across the road.
