My friends and I often walk this wide and welcoming trail, especially in the fall. It's a perfect circuit for young families... easy and level. Well-trained dogs are sometimes off-leash... just so you know.

Great Place to Walk the dog

We use these trails almost every day in the summer. Easy to walk trails and a pond for the dogs to take a swim.

A cool, shady walk on a hot and humid summer's day.

For an outing on a humid summer's day on the NH seacoast and not at the crowded beaches I suggest the Phillips Exeter Academy walking trails. Clearly marked and maintained beautifully, they (there are more than one) are a sun dappled and quiet retreat from...More

Great trails

Phillips Exeter Academy created and maintains a great number of trails in the woods behind the athletic fields. The trails are clearly marked. Great for running, walking, and cross-country skiing.
