Land OwnerNew Hampshire State Parks
Has to be one of the funnest flowy narrow downhills in the northeast. Little bit of Kingdom Trails right here in NH. Link it with Big Bear and you have a couple miles of superb riding.
It has three segments, Hemlock1, Hemlock2 and Hemlock3. Most riders ride west-to-east, so be particularly careful riding in the other direction.
The first half of H1 follows a bench cut into the side of the Bear Brook ravine. It can be ridden at speed, but the first armored drop and a couple of the turns can be deceptively tricky. This trail is very treacherous when icy.The second half climbs up from a stream crossing to the junction with H2.
H2 starts with a steep, rooty climb that transitions into a nice short, benched climb. The plateau was recently logged and the scrub vegetation features a few acres of wild blueberry bushes.The trail follows the rim of the ravine to a junction with H3.
H3 is a fun, fast, flowy trail that comes out to a doubletrack.
