Head’s Pond Trail is a 1.9-mile rail trail that visits two scenic ponds, including the eponymous Head’s Pond, in a woodsy area of Hooksett. This easy hike covers approximately 3 miles (out-and-back) with minimal elevation gain. The trail features a smooth stone dust surface that is well suited to biking and walking. Once you’re on the trail, it’s flat over its entire length, though a steep and rocky access path leads downhill from the parking lot. This is a very popular area for birding, fishing, and hiking, and you’ll likely encounter other people while exploring. History and outdoors buffs will enjoy the interpretive signs that inform about Hooksett and the local flora and fauna.
