Hiroshi Hayashi Conservation Land Trail

Distance: 2 Mile Loop

Difficulty: Easy

The trail is located on Rt 137 in Peterborough, about two miles from Rt 101. On the right is a decent size parking lot with a trail kiosk.  When you start out on the trail you walk down a small hill between stone walls, a typical New England landmark. About a quarter of mile the trail splits.  To the right goes towards Nubanusit Brook .  Heading left takes you to a beautiful lookout.  The trail is a loop so it does not matter which way you go.

We usually bare left which runs along a small stream and comes to a beautiful view point of Thumb and Skatutakee Mountain.

After the lookout the trail follows Nubanusit Stream. I have been here during the spring time and part of the trail has been flooded, but it appears they have rerouted the trail to plan for this.

The trail loops back around to the the split in the trail. This trail is flat and easy to navigate. This is great for a quick hike through the woods to enjoy some beautiful scenery.
