TRAILS VS. PRIVATE ROADWAYS

Visitors Please Read

NOW OPEN: MAIN ENTRANCE & PARKING TO DEER LEAP ON BAYLEAF ROAD, PELHAM, NH (West End of Deer Leap)

When visiting Deer Leap, please note that the eastern roadways -- Woodbury Rd. & Abbott Rd. -- are privately owned, and passable for REGISTERED VEHICLES (ONLY) traveling to a designated property on the Southwest End of Abbott Road from the main highway, and back to the main highway. The Northeast End of Abbott is for private residents only.

PLEASE NOTE:

Woodbury Rd. & Abbott Rd. are NOT part of the Deer Leap Trail Loop. Visitors are kindly asked to adhere to the trails (see maps & more information below).
The Northeast End of Abbott Rd. is strictly for private residents and their guests. NO public vehicles are allowed on this end.
Google Maps incorrectly connects Abbott Rd. & Smith Rd. Note: both roads are dead-ends at private property with NO TRESPASSING signs posted.

MAPS & LAY OF THE LAND

THANK YOU FOR YOUR COOPERATION IN STAYING WITHIN THE CONSERVATION AREA.

STICK TO THE TRAILS

Enjoy the trails 'within' Deer Leap! Be mindful of the private property that abuts this conservation area. Abbott and Woodbury roads are privately owned and NOT part of the conservation area hiking/walking trail loop.

BAYLEAF RD. PARKING & TRAIL ENTRANCE

NOW OPEN: This large parking lot is located off of Bayleaf Road (West side of Deer Leap, at the border of Pelham and Windham, NH), to the right of the dam. There's an entrance to the trail loop from this parking lot.

BAYLEAF ROAD, PELHAM, NH

Bayleaf Road is open for visitor's to park in the large parking lot and access the trail loop. Don't worry about the old 'road closed' sign - Bayleaf Rd. is not yet a through road but will be soon! This entrance will also soon offer an ADA boat-launch!

USE DESIGNATED PARKING ONLY

Visitors must use designated parking. NO PARKING is allowed outside the small lot on Woodbury Rd. The narrow roadways must stay clear for large service vehicles to pass, so the police will ticket and/or tow vehicles.

PRIVATE ROAD VS. TRAIL LOOP

If you wander off the Deer Leap Loop and find yourself at the southwest end of Abbott Rd., kindly return to the loop, which will take you back to the parking lots. Beyond this point is a private residence and roadway.
