Our favorite days outside are the ones spent hiking on trails throughout the state. There are so many different ones to try that it’s easy to experience a different landscape any time you venture out. Some trails, like the one we’re featuring today, offer lots of different types of scenery which makes for a fun way to appreciate everything New Hampshire has to offer. Try this one and let us know what you think!
Located in Nashua’s Mine Falls Park, the Mine Falls Green Loop Trail is one of the most lovely ways to spend a portion of the day in the outdoors.

The 2.1-mile trail is a loop beginning within the park offers a shaded route in the summer.

But in the winter when there’s a coating of snow and not a leaf to be seen, we love this place just as much!

That’s because the route feels miles away from the city, despite being just a short walk from the center.

While the park isn’t far from the Nashua River, the majority of this trail follows the Nashua Canal Reservoir. That makes for calm waterway views along a good portion of the trail.

Being easy to navigate also means that you’ll be able to spend some time taking in the surroundings rather than keeping your eyes constantly peeled for directional signs or blazes. That’s what’s great about looped hikes. And there are lots of fun features to see. From bridges to the reservoir waterfall, this is a great place for photos.

If you’re just here to clear the head, you’ll be just as satisfied as those only looking for views. If you time your visit right you’ll find it fairly quiet. We like to start in the morning or later afternoon.
