Description
Two miles of hiking trails wind through upland pine-oak-hemlock forests, fields, old orchards, and silver maple floodplain forest along the Contoocook River. The terrain is relativelyflat. Because of the wide variety of habitats, wildlife observation opportunities are excellent at McCabe Forest.
Fishing Guide
From the parking area on Route 202, the trail loops easterly toward the Contoocook River and two portions of the trail run along the banks of the river. This is slow moving water, home to warm water fish. Be forewarned that in the warm seasons, the wetlands and marshes on the McCabe Forest are known for breeding healthy populations of fish food….mosquitoes, and go prepared with your favorite insect repellant.
