Mary’s Mountain Guided Snowshoe
Friday Feb. 7th from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
Meet at Trail Head at end of Old Shaw Town Road
Freedom, NH

GMCG and Wendy Scribner, Natural Resources Field Specialist with UNH Cooperative Extension, will lead a group snowshoe trek up Mary’s Mountain in Freedom. Participants will enjoy a moderate, 1.5-mile round trip for beautiful winter views from open ledges overlooking Green Mountain, Ossipee Lake and Danforth Bay. Mary’s Mountain is a 944-foot peak located in the 2,661-acre Freedom Town Forest. The forest was established in 2005 as the result of a successful grassroots effort to permanently conserve the property by The Friends of Trout Pond, GMCG, and the Trust for Public Land. Participants should be physically prepared to climb a moderately steep incline in winter conditions. Dress appropriately for the weather and with proper footwear. Hiking poles with snow baskets are recommended. Meet just below the kiosk/trailhead off of Ossipee Lake Road in Freedom, located on Shawtown Road past the Danforth Bay Camping Resort. The snow date for this event is February 14. This event is open to the public and registration is required. A limited number of snowshoes are available to rent for $10/pair. Donations graciously accepted.
