The Rocks

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. 

The Rocks' trails, fields, and parking lots are currently closed to the public due to construction work at the Carriage Barn, except for special events and programs. Forest Society North is a multi-year restoration and renovation project at The Rocks that started in 2020. Get a sneak peek of the almost-completed renovations at our Annual Meeting on Saturday, September 23! Then, we hope to re-open trails on October 1 and fully open the Carriage Barn to the public on November 1.
