Cooper Cedar Woods Jennings Forest

Address: Route 11, New Durham, NH
Phone: (603) 224-9945

Located on Route 11, 4.5 miles South of junction of Routes 11 & 28. A sign on the right marks the parking area/entrance. These two very different properties offer an interesting contrast. The 30-acre Cedar Woods features an interpretive trail through a bog with a valuable stand of Atlantic white cedar and another of black spruce. Deer and other wildlife, including numerous waterfowl, call this wild wetland home. Just 2 miles away, the Jennings Forest is a 376-acre tree farm, long managed to produce forest products and provide wildlife habitat and watershed protection. Woods roads lead through the forest to a beaver meadow and a forested wetland along a brook, making for easy and interesting hiking. (Despite the width of the roads, recreational motorized traffic is not allowed on Forest Society lands.)
