Trail Conditions

Mud Season Updates (as of 4/25/2025)

The trails are drying well, but still need some time to firm up.  The trail crew is busy cleaning up and repairing trails.  We would love your help! If you would like to volunteer, please contact andy@woodsandtrails.org. We will update as trails open, but for now, here is the status:

• The Bethel Community Forest and Bingham Forest are closed to all vehicular traffic. This includes all parking areas (Bethel Community Forest West at 753 North Road, Locke Mountain Road, and 305 North Road) and all trails (mountain biking/singletrack, hiking, the Community Access Trail System.) The Locke Mountain Road gate will remain closed until further notice. Do not block the gate.
• All additional mountain bike trails in our network are also closed, including Bacon Hill, the Bethel Village Trails, and the Pennacook Area Community Trails (PACT). This includes all foot traffic.
• Mystery Mountain parking area and trails are closed.
• The following hiking trails will remain open: Jordan Mountain, Kendall Brook Forest, Mount Will, and Woodsum Spur (Puzzle Mountain)
