Great 4.0 mile loop around protected wetlands. Very rocky and rooty. <br />
Overall not to technical but it has its moments. Great training loop to really <br />
hammer it out. Other trails also criss cross the main loop trail. A few hill <br />
summits make for some good quick climbs. The Ledge trail is a nice downhill <br />
section geared for bikers, and the Quarry trail has a few nice technical <br />
sections. Part of the property crosses one of the last remaining sections of <br />
the Old Kings road, which was used in the 17th and 18th century by the <br />
King of England to collect local taxes. Preserve trails were created and <br />
maintained by the town of Merrimack and are heavily used by walkers and <br />
horses on weekends especially so be cautious and courteous to fellow trail <br />
users.
Take Exit 11 off of Everett Turnpike in Merrimack, Take a right at the burger <br /><br />king on Amherst Rd. Follow for about 3 miles. Sign and lot for the preserve is <br /><br />on the left hand side.
