HOLDERNESS — The Squam Lakes Association has closed several of its more popular hiking trails for mud season.
The trails closed on March 23d and will open again no later than May 15," said the association's director of recreation, Brett Durham. "Openings vary every year and really depend on trail conditions."
"Trails take a lot of volunteer and financial resources to maintain," said SLA Volunteer Coordinator, Brian Gagnon. "Temporary trail closures during mud season also plays a major role in protecting the trails."
One of these trails is the Old Bridle Path up West Rattlesnake in Holderness. This popular trail experiences an estimated 30,000 hikers per year.
For more information about trail conditions, mud season closures, or best hiking practices, please contact the Squam Lakes Association 603-968-7336, or email info@squamlakes.org.
