Converse Meadow Trail

Distance: 1.5 Mile Loop

Difficulty: Easy

Are you looking for an easy hike that is just a couple miles.  I have a great one for you. Located off of Route 119 on Conversevelle Road in Rindge is a great beginner hike.  Converse Meadow Trail is managed by the Monadnock Conservancy.  The trail is about a mile and a half loop with the option of a couple side trails to various view points.  These side trials add on roughly a half mile.

The trails are relatively flat with a couple very small inclines throughout the trail. There are signs alone the trail pointing out various animals and plants.  A fun fact about the trail (I forgot to take a picture) is that in the 1940's it is rumored that a escape convict was living in a log cabin in these woods to hide from the authorities.  I wonder if his ghost haunts this area?!

The trail is perfect if you are looking for an easy couple mile hike with young children or a beginner hiker. We did see a couple different birds, so I also think this would be a great wildlife viewing area.
