Whether you are an experienced hiker or you are just looking for a starting point, our Wednesday Winter Hikes are a great way to get out and explore!

Join Director of Education, Kyle Salmons, for a mix of gentle hike and steep climb on an out-and-back hike up Cotton Mountain. Start 2025 off with a winter hike up to the summit of the first (or last, depending on your perspective) mountain on the Squam Range. Nestled close to the town of Holderness, Cotton Mountain is the perfect winter hike to get used to steep terrain without the risk of being out in the wilderness.

Every year, on the first warm, rainy nights of spring, thousands of salamanders and frogs migrate to vernal pools and other wetlands to breed in a phenomenon known as “Big Night.” Sadly, many are killed when they must cross roads. Join longtime Salamander Crossing Brigade coordinator Brett Amy Thelen to discover the magic of Big Night — and to learn how community scientists in the Granite State are coming together to help migrating amphibians survive the most dangerous journey of their lives.
Join Director of Education, Kyle Salmons, on a 2.4 mile loop around Chamberlain-Reynolds Memorial Forest. This is an easy hike with very little elevation gain. It's the perfect opportunity to practice using snow shoes or to put a new pair to the test! Chamberlain-Reynolds Memorial Forest also offers a unique view of the lake in winter from the many coves and beaches along the way.
Join the Lakes Region Conservation Corps on their first guided hike of the season! Come meet some of our LRCC members and enjoy one of the best lesser known loop hikes in the area.
