Recreation
Cross Country Skiing
With over 50 kilometers of groomed skate and classic ski trails, along with the new trails, are two 2.5 kilometer ski courses that have been designed by Morton Trails to the International Ski Federation Homologation ("Olympic") standards. There are two main entrances, one at 1756 NH RT 118 in Dorchester, New Hampshire and the other along a residential road between Reservoir Pond in Lyme and Cummins Pond in Dorchester, NH.
This is true wilderness skiing on groomed cross country ski trails with 4 warming huts to visit along the way to enjoy a cup of hot chocolate.
Mountain Biking
They have a very open recreational use policy and their only charge for using their trail system is "a smile."
