The Rocks

The Rocks' trails, fields, and parking lots will be CLOSED to the public starting June 1 due to construction work at the Carriage Barn, except for special events and programs. Use our Reservation Guide to find other Forest Society properties nearby, including Bretzfelder Park.

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.
