The parking lot is small and fills up fast. There are plenty of trails which are not too challenging and will keep you occupied for hours. The trails are well maintained and marked; there is plenty to see. I went here with my two boys (7&9) and neither has an issue, after 4 hours of hiking and finding a place to have lunch we all left tuckered out with only memories taken.Nice little hiking area.

Great hike. Lots of different trails/ difficulties to choose from. Exactly what you would expect of a New England hike: a bit of marsh, a lot of evergreens and granite. Biggest challenge is trying to get pictures to convey just how cathedral- like the ravine feels. Deep/tall, depending on your angle, but very memorable.

Nice, easy hike with cool stuff to see. Very well marked trails. A good way to kill a couple hours.

Enjoyable walk. Easy terrain and level. Pulpit rock is geological and natural wonder! Very interesting and great signage explaining scientific history of the area.

The trails here are really good and interesting. Theres lots of little nooks and crannies to get lost in here. Definitely worth the visit also theres ample parking

An easy local hike to enjoy NH nature with family.

A fun, short family hike to bring small children. Very popular in good weather.

A very nice short hike for the family. Well marked trails and some interesting geology.

Always a great place to relax and enjoy nature. The waterfalls are always fantastic to check out. Make sure to bring micro-spikes from the first snow until April or May, as the trails are usually ice until mid to late spring. I see too many people going in sneakers or fashion boots and they are slipping everywhere. The hike to the old Mill site is well worth the time and typically my turn around point. On the way there, I usually take the ravine trail to follow the many waterfalls and cascades that are just after Pulpit Rock. Plan for 4-5 hours if you are looking to stop and enjoy the views.

Great place to hike. Various trails and beautiful scenery.

This place is no joke! Walking around it you feel like you are in the mountains!

Tons of trails from easy to moderate. Great 1/2 hike to pulpit rock.like an enchanted forest. Bridges, streams & waterfalls are my favorite to explore. Great walk for families & little ones

GOOD PLACE LOVE IT BUT THE I SEE GARBAGE SCATTERED

Beautiful views and trails connect to other local trails.

Lots of room to hike while distancing.

Beautiful hiking trails and waterfalls. The pictures below are the Gage Mill, and a waterfall about half way down the ravine trail.

Great place for a quick hike. Easy trails and hard ones. Took my four year old and she did fine, probably could have gone a little bit easier. But took her all the way through the white, red and orange trails.

Great hike! Lots of places where people stacked stones and made things out of fallen branches.

A beautiful place to walk. There are multiple trails and quite a bit of land to explore. Trails are well marked and maps are placed periodically, which is very useful given the size of the conservation area. The gorges and rock faces are fantastic. We went in late October and the temperature in the gorge was quite a bit cooler than the surrounding area. Overall it is a fantastic place to spend some time exploring and getting outside.

Very beautiful, especially the ravine trail

Easy and medium hikes. Beautiful area.Make for a nice easy nature day.

Nice place for a hike. Warning, ravine trail is definitely not for beginners. Learned the hard way.

Beautiful and serene

Nice natural area with well marked trails, babbling brook and small cascades. There are some wooden walkways that are in need of repair and it can be a little crowded.

Great place to get a nice days hike in!

Very nice easy trail

Great to have this so close to Manchester/Bedford. Very well kept and trail markings are clear even in the winter.

I love this place usually, but recently everything is dried up because of the drought.

Good trail! Its not a difficult or tiring trail! Has too many mosquitoes on the yellow trail. Otherwise its a good experience

Beautiful hiking spot with multiple levels of trails. The pup loved it. Going to come back with the kid one of these days as well. Bring on the summer!

Love pulpit rock conservation area! I have walked it in every season and it is always wonderful. The trails are well maintained, and are suitable for children. There are a lot of roots on the trail and some rocks so I would reccomend wearing hiking sneakers for the best traction. You can choose to walk down into the gorge but is optional. There is also a teepee that someone constructed which is fun to see. Its truly a great place.

Clean, nice trails.

Quiet & peaceful! Well marked trails. Lots of roots & rocks on paths, so wear supportive boots, not sandals.

Awesome area for a hike. The trails are marked out really well

The rock itself is nothing special. It is almost impossible to get a perspective of it from above. From below it is a muddy mess at the bottom which is the main thing you see from either angle. The most exciting part was watching my dog trying to pull a big stick out of the mud at the bottom. Anywhere near the stream or bottom of the rock get very buggy.The rest of the conservation area does have well marked trails good for walking with dogs or children.

Very nice public nature area with well marked trails. The natural pulpit rock basin is impressive and the second largest in the state. However, it does dry up in the summer. There is also a very beautiful shaded shallow gorge with a babbling Brook with numerous little waterfalls and mini basins.

Nice and quiet

Great little hiking spot although the trails are not well marked

Nice walking path out to the geologic feature, It was worth doing.

Was a beautiful hike with the waterfall all frozen!

Awesome hike for the whole family

Nice plase to wack on summer time to relax you body and main.

I love this spot. The geologic wonders of the area are surprising and beautiful year round. You cant help but imagine the massive glacial forces of past millennia when you take in the formation of the land. Awe-inspiring.

Be careful when its icy and wear waterproof boots as there are sections you cant avoid ankle deep water.

Nice hike. Pulpit rock is beautiful. There are easy and moderate trails to taylor your preferences.

My girlfriend and I take 2 of our dogs here for a walk once in a while. The scenery is great and the trails are easy and kept up with. The pulpit area is a great site to see. There are lots of wooden bridges over the softer ground and plenty of trail maps along the well marked trails. Great place for a short outing.

Pulpit Rock is a great place to go for a trail walk. The terrain is mostly flat, so its also joggable for those who want to run. There is one trail that gets some elevation, that is the orange trail. There are two main entrances. I will take the Joppa Hill entrance if I feel like running, and the New Boston entrance for more of a hike. This is a well marked area, and you can walk as little or as much as you want. There are enough trails for five plus miles.

Beautiful trails, dog friendly, great for all ages me abilities

Amazing place to explore

Fun place for a quick hike. Trails are well maintained, fellow hikers are friendly.

Took a family like for grandsons birthday

Very nice area to take an easy, scenic hike. Trails can sometimes be a little confusingly marked but shouldnt be too much of a problem. Really cool rock site on one trail and the remnants of old farm acreage on another.

Trails were a little hard to navigate. We ended up walking much longer then planned. and in the heat of the day it was tough.

Great little hike!

Really nice and ready hiking here

This is a well-maintained trail and true to the distance marked on the maps. We took the 0.6 Kennard trail (white markers) from the parking area to Pulpit Rock. It was a bit rocky and with a lot of exposed roots, so probably not good for young children or others with physical limitations (my husband is 5 weeks post total hip replacement and found it very challenging, but doable). The rock itself is interesting, but dont get too close to the edge (again, probably not good for curious kids). This is also not a true waterfall, more of a trickle through the rocks, even after heavy recent rainfall. Still worth a look, though!

Our favorite warm-up hike before the North country opens up, its always a pleasure to visit pulpit rock.

Its good place to have a nature hike. The path is a bit difficult if you dont like or cant handle lots of roots and rocks everywhere. But it is a bit crowded at times which makes the hike a bit trickier and harder to enjoy.

Easy walking trails, nature study.

One of our new favorite hikes. It is moderate but the hike has a nice amount of variation, and some scrambles. It is fairly well marked but you have to look or you could miss them.

Much rocks

Great place to see nature

You enjoy the wild life winter or summer

Love this place we go there 3 times a year summer is the best, fall in pretty too, winter is a challenge. It has a bunch of trails from easy to hard. Although the difficult ones really are not that bad. The view of the water is beautiful. 2 perfect spot for taking pictures and viewing. Dog friendly although you do have to watch people tend to let there dogs run free. (Problem if your afraid dogs or have a dog agressive dog) The hike is beautiful and worth it. As long as you pay attention to the color trail your on your fine. Getting lost can happen but not hard to find your way out. I recommend this place for beginners and experienced.

Moderate hiking difficulty. Great scenery! No restrooms. Picnic table available, but not clean.

The directions Google give you to get here are horrible! Eventually you are going to end up in a neighborhood. We were almost ready give up and drive off when we decided to drive a bit more down the street and there, tucked away in a little entrance you can spot a small parking lot and thats the entrance of the hiking trail. It was a beautiful walk and there were other families. At some point the trail divides in three trails, some more challenging than others but each trail is easy to follow. Excellent walk and will do it again

Hidden Gem of southern nh

Very easy hike if you have young children.

It is so nice here I love it we got at minimum 3 times during the nice weather. Its so peaceful and beautiful.

Sweet little stroll in the woods. Short and easy.

Great trails. Some streams. Nice rocks.

Nice relaxing trail. If you take the Peregrine trail prepare to be dive bombed by the Falcon.

Fun to explore, not well marked on some of the trails.

Great family hike!

Great hiking trails

Great trails. Dont forget the bug spray!

I was pretty impressed by this little hikeHad never been there the trails were pretty well marked nice little hike

Beautiful place. Dog friendly. Not overly traveled.

Great place for a hike. Nice views with well marked trails.

Maybe Im just getting old, but the trails are rough.A hike, as opposed to a nice walk in the woods.

Beautiful to go hiking here so many waterfalls and trails

I love this place! Amazing place, wonderful energy and just fantastic

Great place for a short hike with a waterfall bonus

This is a beautiful and well maintained trail, I would highly recommend it to anyone in the area.

Nice day out hiking

We were there yesterday it was a beautiful winter day. Great hike! Found a teepee and hiked down to the mill.

Awesome trail system. Dog and bike friendly. Can get a bit muddy in wet seasons though.

Nice walk... different trail levels...nice streams.

Wonderful wooded hiking area, great for dogs. Google Maps GPS was a bit off for parking, we parked off of New Boston Road about 1/4mi past Esther Dr. on the left, at the Kennard Trailhead.

Its pretty but your not going to get a quiet walk in the woods. the trails and the conservation area gets too crowed.

Nice trails, the maps arent too accurate, though.

Fun hike, dog friendly, pretty paths.

Came across this while looking for some where local for myself and children to spend outside and it is now our new favorite place to go.

I love this place!

Beautiful! The trails can be confusing, but as far as terrain its fine for beginners.

White Mountains in Bedford, NH

Breathtaking!

Simply put: beautiful

The actual trail and parking lot is at 596 New Boston Road, Bedford, NH.

Well-blazed trails of different difficulties.
