Friendly Trails

Pelham Veterans Memorial Park

The hiking trails wind gently through the landscape, featuring mild elevation gain that adds to the enjoyment of the hike without being overly strenuous. Along the way, hikers are treated to picturesque views of Long Pond. The natural beauty of the area is enhanced by the presence of mature white pine, red and white oak trees, as well as a profusion of black birch trees. As hikers traverse the trails, they’ll encounter remnants of the area’s history, such as old stone walls that line the path. Additionally, the trails pass through sections of wetlands, where a lengthy puncheon bridge provides safe passage.
