The Florence Roberts Forest is approximately 38 acres just south of the center of the town of Mason off Valley road. It is easily accessible and and has a kiosk with a trail map to identity the trails.
There are two main trails in this system and one small bypass trail that is unnamed at this writing. The trails are:
-
Boy Scout Trail - since the Boy Scout troupe in Mason at the time cut the trail, they named it after themselves.
-
Pony Loop Trail - the Messer family in town rode their horses on this property and cut the trail and named after their ponies.
-
Bypass trail - for lack of a better name this trail bypasses a very wet area on the trail system on the Boy Scout Trail.
PARKING - Access to these trails is along Valley Road (NH state Rt 123) just south of town. There is a kiosk on the left-hand side of the road as one travels south on Valley road, less than a mile from the center of town.
