The Rocks

The New Hampshire Maple Experience will open on March 11. The Rocks' trails, fields, and parking lots are CLOSED to the public due to construction work at the Carriage Barn, except for special events and programs. 

The Rocks in Bethlehem, New Hampshire is a 1,400-acre forest reservation, owned and managed by the Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests. Forest Society North is a multi-year restoration and renovation project at The Rocks that started in 2020 and that we hope to complete by the summer of 2023.
