New Hampshire State Park First Day Hike-Wentworth-Coolidge Mansion Historic Site

5th Annual New Hampshire State Parks First Day Hike at Wentworth-Coolidge State Historic Site in Portsmouth, NH.

Join park staff and the Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests land stewards for a hike of the Little Harbor Loop Trail. Considered an easy hike, the trail is 1.5 mile long and should take approximately 1-1.5 hours to hike. Guides will be present to share the natural history of the abutting Creek Farm. Join us to seek signs of wildlife, watch shorebirds on the tidal flats, discover a tidal pool and enjoy the many varieties of tree and plants that highlight Creek Farm as a unique coastal habitat. Looking to explore on your own? Feel free to take a map and walk at your own pace while exploring the beauty of the Little Harbor Loop Trail. After the hike, enjoy a warm drink and snack inside the parks visitor center. Pets are not allowed at Wentworth-Coolidge Mansion Historic Site.
