New Hampshire Trails

Bumpy, rocky, exhilarating, and simple describe the experience on this Jericho Mountain Green Trail. Developed by off-roaders in conjunction with State Parks officials, this trail is made to challenge both vehicle and driver. Although the Green Trail East is the easiest of the trails in the park, it is not just a simple walk in the park. Strap in, hang on, and pay attention to your driving from start to finish.

Testing one's off-roading skills from start to finish is what you can expect at the Jericho Mountain State Park 4x4 Off-Road Trail. Not for the faint-at-heart, the Green Trail West will challenge drivers of all levels. The forest can quickly turn on you to become your enemy as the tightly lined tree complicates your line choice. You may never see this beautiful forest drive because you focus on the trail from start to finish. The trails at Jericho Mountain will certainly leave you with a sense of accomplishment once you return to the Park's entrance gate.

Jericho Black 5 ends at Waypoint 3 of the Green Trail West.
