Each month, we feature a new hike around Hanover for self-guided fun. Each hike includes directions on how to get to the trailhead, detailed turn-by-turn directions for following the route, land history and a vivid description of what you’ll find while you’re there. Access each hike on your phone (if cell service allows), or print the PDF version to take with you! Though we do our best to match each hike with its ideal season, most of these trails are suitable for year-round use: search by location or keyword here to find your next adventure!
