Sewall Woods encompasses four parcels of land acquired by LRCT through tremendous work and generosity of landowners, donors, and volunteers during the years 1998 to 2007. The property consists of the A. Denny McLean and Mary McLean McBride Forest, purchased in 1999; the Raymond Tuttle property, received as an extraordinary gift in 2000; the Munro property, purchased in 2003; and the Horn property, purchased in 2007. This land, for many years cultivated by local farmers, is now conserved in perpetuity and provides scenic forest and wildlife habitat, year-round trails and recreational opportunities, and a quiet place for nature observation, all within a short walk of downtown Wolfeboro.
Mountain Biking
The property features 5 miles of designated mountain biking trails maintained by the Wolfeboro Singletrack Alliance. These trails are open to the public during spring, summer, and fall months. The trails feature beginner to intermediate singletrack and doubletrack trails that are ‘rake n’ ride and some flow, providing a multi-level experience.
Visit their website for more information on the biking trails at Sewall Woods and other nearby mountain biking areas.
