Trail improvements underway on Moose Mountain

December 28, 2021

We are working with the landowners and the Town’s Trails Committee to focus use and maintenance on the best connections and close some lesser-used, duplicate trails. Volunteer-led trail work made great strides in Fall, 2021 and will resume in Spring, 2022. We’ve updated our map to show new routes and those no longer open on the central and southern part of the mountain.  We hope this helps while you’re out on the trails this winter!

Please note that these trails are maintained by volunteers. While some trails traverse lands managed by the Hanover Conservation Commission or protected by the Hanover Conservancy, many paths cross privately-owned lands that are not conserved. Please do your part to keep these trails open by respecting these generous landowners and treating their property as you would your own.

Watch for blowdowns

November 1, 2017

The windstorm of Oct. 29-30 visited our trails and it will take time to clear all the paths. Our volunteers made much progress at Balch Hill on 10/31 and at Lower Slade Brook on 11/4. Please get in touch to report other obstructions. New volunteers always welcome!

Take a Hike

July 19, 2017

Now that a beautiful (but fleeting) summer is upon us, it’s time to head out on the trail. Check our Hikes of the Month for detailed routes and the stories behind them.  There’s still time to sign up for the Fourth Annual Hanover Trails Challenge!

Post-Storm Trail Conditions

July 5, 2017

On July 1, Mother Nature reminded us who’s in charge. Most of our trails are in good condition except for a few spots at the Mink Brook Nature Preserve – two blow-downs on the Trout Brook Trail and a small missing bridge on the Sachem Connector Trail. At Slade Brook, trails are clear and the flood actually improved the lower falls by scouring the ledge. Reports are not yet in for the Mayor-Niles Forest or Tunis Brook Mill Lot. If you’d like to help with trail restoration, please get in touch.
