      A hidden gem of a trail system in Andover. No matter where you are in the area, you will 90 percent of the time have the view of the Merrimack River right next to you. There are many bridges, some steep areas, and not too many technical features (except the bridges). Hikers enjoy this spot, as well, so please be courteous.
