Nice short hike. Make sure to use a lot of bug spray. Parking is extremely limited and can be confusing. Do not block the gate, but you can park in front of the fence.

Terrible experience! Was chased for hours by FNAF robot zombies! Seriously can't explain how I made it out alive!

Really nice, well done trails. Back to what I assume is a landfill but it’s all overgrown and fenced off. There’s some water close by if you turn left at the landfill, but the trails after the water were really the highlight.

A lovely natural reserve. You will find yourself surrounded by nothing but nature. It has several paths for walking your pets or jogging. The air is incredibly clean and pure. There is no doubt that it is a must see if you are in Portsmouth, NH. It does not allow the entry of cars, so you must park outside the park and then enter on foot, still it must certainly worth it.

Great natural area with nice fairly easily navigated trails.

First, it's open! Parking is limited, but, the gate is only to block cars. Short walk to main trail. There is a short trail by the gate.
Second, nostalgia reigns with me here. I use to play here with my friends when we were kids. We use to bring our bicycles and ride around the old dump lot. We could make small forts and I found cast iron frying 🍳 pans which I gave to my mother. She cleaned them and used as decorations. One of my friends father brought his motorcycle 🏍️ and followed us on trails into the forest. The old dump has been cleared away, fenced off and reseeded. A rope swing was attached to a 🌲 at the trail by the entrance.
The current trail runs along Great Bay and abutts other properties. The trail has wood pulp and markers along the whole trail. Unfortunately, there are areas of trash 🗑️ as well. One trail connects to a ball park. You might hear people playing tennis 🎾 as well as listening to sea birds.
Trails are great for jogging 👟, moderate hiking, taking your dog 🐶, mountain biking and maybe in the winter, cross country skiing.
Bring bug repellent and good walking/hiking shoes. Watch out for thorns!
If you want a good short walk, I recommend a visit.
