Offers information about New Hampshire sanctuaries and has an observation area and trails.
Just a few minutes off the highway, the Audubon Center is a "must-see" for nature lovers. There are several well maintained hiking trails. We took the yellow trail through a beautiful woodland to the pond. The trail is well marked and mostly level, but the protruding roots and rocks demand hikers' attention. In the welcome center there is a classroom where visitors can get up close to study preserved animals. This was one of my favorite spots. There is also a building in the back where injured raptor are housed. The 90 minutes we were here were well spent. Our thanks to those who care for this land and it's animals.

Squam Lakes Natural Science Center is a fun and enlightening place for everyone to enjoy. Here at the Science Center, we house and exhibit many different wild animals, including river otters, mountain lions, bobcats, deer, bears, birds, foxes, and skunks. The wild animals at Squam Lakes Natural Science Center are ambassadors of their species, here for the purpose of educating our visitors about New Hampshire's natural world. Most are orphaned, injured, or otherwise unable to survive in the wild. Observing these animals up-close, together with experiencing our hands-on exhibits, offers visitors the opportunity to develop a deeper understanding of our native wildlife and appreciation of the natural world.
Took the lake cruise with Bev, who was an absolute delight and gem to the science center. He excitedly shared history and local wisdom of the film, On Golden Pond, as well as local wildlife. We saw loons, chicks, cormorants, eagles and even an eaglet! He made our day so fun. Was just us and another couple on a chilly morning. Delightful!

I grew up swimming in the Bellamy River. I remember when it had a sandy beach, diving boards, and a club house. Now it is a Disc Golf Course. Revisited the park recently when I was in town, and took a stroll in the woods. Brought back great memories and wonder at the changes to the river's size and surroundings. Other than flying Frisbees about, it proved for a lovely Autumn afternoon down memory lane.

For the most part, the trails are well-maintained. You will occasionally encounter the fallen tree-across-the -trail-scenario and a small amount of trash. Hopefully, there are plans to increase the number of the bog trails through fragile areas. A lot of soft and loamy soil exists here. After a good rain, humans unintentionally disturb the terrain when they sidestep these mud puddles, slippery rocks, and routes. The trails are well-marked with signage and on the paper map. During the summer, this is a good place to escape the heat. The canopy of trees and the breeze from Lake Sunapee may act as outdoor air-conditioning. Overall, this is a relaxing area in which to take a walk. Bring bug spray and water. Wear your hiking boots or athletic shoes. They may get muddy. So, have a plan.

Always a pleasure to enjoy being in the woods in the middle of town! You can see the state capital building on one side and ski mountains from the other!
