Distance: 3 Miles, but option for variety of distances
Difficulty: Easy
Located across from Diamond Machine on Rt 130 in Hollis is an another trailhead for the Beaver Brook Trail Association. My husband and I recently had an hour to ourselves while our daughter was at art lessons so we decided to check out this trail as it was close to her art studio. We followed the Beaver Brook Trail to Cow Lane and then to Eastman Meadow Trail and then back to the parking lot. The map is a great resource of all the trails through the Association.
The trail is fairly flat. It was a little icy, but were were able to walk without any type of crampons.
There are some pretty sections of the trail over looking, streams, bogs and a pond.
As well as a platform viewing area.
My favorite part was a boardwalk that went over a bog connecting Cow Lane and Eastman Meadow trail.
We only spent an hour on the trail, but really enjoyed it and were able to hike three miles. It was also nice for my husband and I to get some alone time, which does not happen very often. If you are looking for a cheap date, hiking is a great way to do it. These are great trails or all abilities of hikers and those with young children. In the winter they are good for snowshoeing and cross country skiing.
