Richard P. Smart Conservation Area Trail Map
Map U13 Lot 18 25 acres with long frontage on Winnipesaukee River.
This property was originally part of the Spaulding Youth Center lands and was cut off by I93. It was purchased by the town in 2005 with Conservation Funds with the stipulation that it would be named in honor of Richard P Smart who was a long time resident of Northfield and had served as headmaster at the Golden Rule Farm which is now Spaulding. As the access to the property was difficult, the town acquired an easement from the abutting property owner to create a trail from the parking area. The trail leads down to the river and a large rock formation known as Devil’s Den.
