Great Bay National Wildlife Refuge — Attraction in Newington

As a disabled nature photographer, the Great Bay NWR is a welcome respite to the rugged trails I attempt to navigate. One of the two trails here, the 1/2 mile loop 'Peverly Pond Trail' is a completely elevated wooden boardwalk enabling me to enter a few different habitats on just about any mobility device.

Maps provided. Plenty of parking. Good for kids. I recommend a visit. Mountain 🏔️ biking might be allowed. I have seen people doing it. Cross country skiing possible. I...
