Located in New Ipswich, NH is Nussdorfer Nature Area. Located on Turnpike Road is the nature area. If you are heading into New Ipswich, the trail is on the left before you reach Mascenic High School.

I have hiked Nussdorfer Trail a few times and tried to get additional information, but I always feel like I am missing part of the trail. There are supposedly two trails, one to Hoar Pond and a Nature Trail.

The trail to Hoar Pond is very easy to follow. The trail is marked by yellow blazes.

The trails meanders through the woods and right before you get to the pond the trail goes though some beautiful Mountain Laurel.

After a .7 mile hike through the woods you come to Hoar Pond.

I believe from here you can walk the nature trail around the pond, but I am not certain. From the pond it appears there is a trail that you can go left or right. It was getting dark when we visited so I plan to go back another time and explore those trails further.

Overall, it is a beautiful walk to the pond and great for all ages and abilities.
