Distance: Varies, but up to a couple miles.
Difficulty: Easy
Located on North River Road Milford before Fitches Farm is the trailhead for the Souhegan River Trail. I have driven by this trailhead several times going to Fitches Farm Stand or Trombly Farms and finally stopped to check it out. There is a decent size parking lot with a kiosk. Directly behind the kiosk is a dirt road, that is not the trail. The trail bares left into the field.
The trail is fairly easy to follow with trail signs. There are some side trails. There is a trail map, but I did not find it very helpful.
Parts of the trail follow along the Souhegan River. There are several spots you can walk down to the river.
As you are walking down the trail there is an intersection. You can bare left, I am unsure where that goes. I followed the trail to the right, over the bridge, following the white trail blazes.
The trail continues winding through the woods or along the river.
We went over another small bridge that was a little difficult to cross with high water. We continued through the woods. The trail came out into a field. From here I believe it went left. We stopped here and turned around. The map says the trail is 1.3 miles long I believe this trail connects to the trail near the Milford Oval, but I am not certain of that.
From the Post Office is Milford there is a small park that is the start of this section of the Souhegan River Trail.
The trail meanders along the river and behind the Boys and Girls Club of Milford. There is a large footbridge that goes across to Key’s Field or you can continue straight. I have not gone this way so I am not sure where it ends up. Someday I will explore it to see if it connects to the rest of the trail I talked about at the beginning of this blog post.
This trail is a nice walk in the woods with beautiful river and woods views. This is a popular place for dog walking.
If you do decide to walk this trail make sure you stop at Fitches Farm and Trombly Farm to check out their fresh items.
