This is one of the lovely woods walks in the New London Conservation Commission's trail network. The main trail, Davis Path, is a woods road, but two side footpaths lead down to Quaking Bog, where there are wildlife observation blinds. An outlook spur at the northern end of the bog has a view of the top of Mt. Kearsarge over the trees. A neat spot. No big climbing here, but a pretty area to get out and stretch the legs. |
