Confirmed from Moore's Falls Conservation Area'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.
Park offering hiking trails, some along a river, as well as kid-friendly options.
What runners say about Moore's Falls Conservation Area
“Enjoyable, clear, and easy walking trails with beautiful views of the river.”
“Not exactly wild, Moore's Falls Conservation Area is another peaceful refuge from the suburban sprawl creeping into our rustic landscapes.”
“Enjoyable, clear, and easy walking trails with beautiful views of the river.”
I was leaving New Hampshire after a couple of days of 'acting touristy'. White Mountains, seacoast, Maine, etc. Had a few hours to kill so did a Google Maps search for "parks" and Moore's came up. A very pleasant one hour hike with some early fall color and a longish stroll along the Merrimack.
Not exactly wild, Moore's Falls Conservation Area is another peaceful refuge from the suburban sprawl creeping into our rustic landscapes. Great for birding and nature walks. Nice for children and dogs. In the winter watch for Bald Eagles. White Tail deer are always around.
Nice walk, very private and quiet. The water is down some steep hills so be careful. Best to wait until you reach the end of the path to get near the water, where there is a small beach like area. No picnic tables.
It is a reasonable place to take a walk. There is clear trails to follow. There are no restroom facilities or much of anything other than a modest parking area.
