Sheldrick Forest

Difficulty: Easy with some hills

No dogs

Located in Wilton, NH is a wonderful trail system that goes over bridges, follows streams and up and down rolling forest hills.  The trail is location on Town Farm Road.  From Rt 101 turn onto Temple Road, after you go about .3 miles and cross a small bridge turn left onto Town Farm Road. The trail is about .7 miles on the left.  The road is dirt so travel with caution. The parking lot is located on the left marked with a sign.

Sheldrick Forest is a great set of trails if you are looking to get out for a couple hours of easy hiking.  With the rolling hills and steep embankments, this may not be the best place for young children, but it is great for older children.

There are about three miles of trails through Sheldrick Forest with the option of connecting to more trails at the Heald Track. I highly recommend bringing a map if you have not been before.

I love how there is different loops to explore and during the wet season you can enjoy the sound of a bubbling brook.

 The trails are well marked with signs and trail markers.

There is no lookout on this trail, but the woods are beautiful. This is a great trail to spend an hour or two in the woods.
