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.
Winter Activities at Sewall Woods
When snow is on the ground, the ungroomed yellow-marked trails are open and free to the public for snowshoe use.
The groomed trails are open to only cross-country skiers. You can buy a pass to cross country ski from the Wolfeboro Cross Country Ski Association.
