I keep finding more trails that are on my favorites list. This is one of them. I love that it’s a network to offer lots of walking opportunities to explore and the views.
Getting There and Parking
Just past the Enfield Shaker Museum you’ll see a field and a small turn off on your right. There’s a sign. It is not the big hill directly across from the Enfield Shaker Museum.
Drive up the dirt road to the tree line and you’ll find a good sized parking area.

On the Trail
The trails starts out with rocky gravel.
You’ll find fun landmarks along the way like this cool bridge and a lesson about the Shakers used the land.
The main trail splits and creates fun hilly loops to explore. There are 8 miles of trails in this network.
In the spring I bet this brook is lovely.
The Lower Shaker Trails are part of the NH State Wildlife Management Area. This is a place people go to hunt in the fall.
Definitely looking forward to exploring these some more!
