Confirmed from Bellamy Preserve's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
What runners say about Bellamy Preserve
“Such a beautiful place with many different types of NH wildlife.”
Tranquil, beautiful preserve. Several winding trail systems right on the river. Hidden gem.
This fine open space parcel belongs to the New Hampshire Audubon Society. It sits along the mouth of the Bellamy River with a Read blazed trail to explore a pair of coves and a Yellow blazed trail to explore Clement's Point and the Great Bay.
I go here almost daily to walk the trails or dirt road. Always nice, usually quiet and friendly people. Barefoot it, its nice.
Great place for a quite walk. Lots of wildlife. Deer. Rabbits. Eagles. Hawks and lots more.
