Dubes Pond Trail is located on Route 27 in Hooksett. I happened across this trail when I needed to kill some time. The only parking is on side of the road. Make sure you do not block the gate or entrance to the pond.
The trail follows a snowmobile trail. At times the path is rocky to walk on. It is very easy to follow.
The trail skirts around Dubes Pond, but there is not much of a view of the pond from this part of the trail. I walked about three quarters of a mile up the trail before turning around. Per All Trails, if you continue down this trail you reach Manchester Waterworks and Bear Brook State Park.
On my way back to the car I noticed there was a trail on the right right that went towards the pond and decided to explore it. This was the best part of the trail as it walked along the edge of Dubes Pond.
This part of the Dubes Pond Trail had several opportunities to enjoy the water views.
I ended up walking almost two miles on this trail. The main trail was not my favorite as it was just walking down a snowmobile trail, but I did enjoy the loop along the pond on the way back. If you are in the area and need to kill some time this is a great option.
