Distance: 1 miles to field
Difficulty: Easy
Note: The trail has become overgrown in the summer months.
Located near the Souhegan Ambulance and Old Tenney Road on Turnpike Road in New Ipswich is a nice little path that follows Furnace Brook. The trail was donated by a family that lives in New Ipswich. Parking is along the side of the road.
The path goes down into the woods along the stream to the base of a small waterfall and part of an old rock wall.
This is a perfect spot to let your dog get a swim in if there is enough water.
The trail continues down along the stream for about a mile.
After about a mile there is a snowmobile bridge that goes off to your left and a field on your right, both which are private property. There is a sign that directs the trail through the field, but I have never followed it. This is a great trail year round. I like it best during the winter months.
In the summer there can be a lot of brush with thorns, therefore I recommend long pants. This trail is great for hiking and snowshoeing.
