Things to Do
Hiking and Walking in the Nashua River Watershed
With its restored waterways, protected greenways, extensive woodlands, and inspiring vistas, the Nashua River watershed is home to extensive trail networks throughout our 32 watershed communities. Trails range from paved riverside walks in our urban areas to rail trails connecting towns to forested paths and mountain hikes.
NRWA frequently offers guided walks to introduce the public to local trails, as well as the plants and wildlife that make their homes along these trails. View Upcoming Programs.
Connect with nature, get outside, and explore our watershed!
