Located on New Boston Road in Bedford, New Hampshire is Earl Legacy Park. This is a multipurpose park with various sports fields, skate park, hiking trails and in the winter months a warming hut, groomed cross country ski trails and snowshoe trails. I high recommend checking out the trail map.
We visited on a November afternoon to explore the hiking trails. We parked near the baseball field and walked the Soccer Trail Connector to the Brook Trail.
From the Brook Trail we crossed the bridge to the Powder Hill Loop Trail. This trail had some elevation gain. The trail was easy to walk and well marked.
We looped around the Powder Hill Trail back to the Brook Trail. Then wandered some of the other trails until we got back to the parking lot.
We were impressed by the condition of the trails. They were well maintained. There were maps at some of the intersections. In the winter this is a cross country ski club and I would love to come back and check out their groomed cross country ski trails.
If you are hungry after your hike, I highly recommend checking out Gusto Italiano Market. Their pizza is amazing, has an adorable atmosphere and friendly staff.
