Welcome to our Visitor Guide. You can browse our properties using the map, or scroll down to filter by region or recreational activity. Featured forests (blue pins) are the best for recreation and they typically have parking areas, mapped trails, and more detailed information. All of our protected forests are open to the public. You can also search by property name or town.
***Note: All trails on Reney Forest are temporarily closed and are not expected to be open again until December 2024 due to a forest management project. To learn more about this and other forest management projects, visit Recent Forestry Projects or Cutting for Conservation***
Like much of the region, the slopes of Barton Hill were cleared for farm pastures and timber by the mid 1800s. The abandonment of hill farms allowed this land to gradually revert to a forest of poplar, white birch, and pine.
A hiking trail maintained by the Squam Lakes Association runs over this property, offering nice views of Squam Lake.
