Hanover might be home to an ivy-league school but for those not enrolled the draw here is what lies beyond campus, namely the wild woodlands and wandering rivers within easy reach of town.
Location: 6 miles west of the Saco Ranger Station. Turn right off the Kancamagus Highway through the Covered Bridge. The parking lot is on the right and the trailhead is opposite the parking lot. Gradual climb with some steep pitches. Excellent views! A trail guide is available at District offices. Views of Mt. Chocorua and Swift River Valley can be enjoyed from the ledges.
