Friday July 19th from 11 AM to 12:30 PM
Join Forest Society staff for a free guided tour of one of Portsmouth’s best hidden outdoor gems! Just a short drive from downtown Portsmouth, Creek Farm is a quiet year-round haven for hikers, paddlers, and nature enthusiasts. Come learn more about the unique natural and cultural heritage of this conserved land, several ‘notable’ trees, all this special place has to offer!
We will meet in front of the Forest Society Education Center parking area at Creek Farm 400A Little Harbor Road, Portsmouth, NH. From there we will walk along the shorefront of Sagamore Creek and return back to the Education Center via a brief shortcut. For an extended hike after the tour, you can continue along the Little Harbor Loop Trail to explore the neighboring Wentworth-Coolidge State Historic Site and scenic views on City of Portsmouth conservation land.
