Welcome to Andover Trails
In this stressful time we believe that a walk outside is good for our health. Please follow the advice from the Andover Board of Health. “The Governor’s advisory to stay home allows for taking walks outdoors; residents are encouraged to get some fresh air daily, while keeping a safe distance from each other. Popular public trail systems have been overwhelmed, making it difficult to maintain the 6’ separation; residents are encouraged to seek out lesser used trails, and bypass those that appear to have a lot of cars in the parking lot.”
Andover Trails was founded in 1971 by Alan French as the Andover Trails Committee with the idea of creating an interconnecting network of walking trails through the town’s public and private conservation properties. Now, nearly fifty years later, Andover Trails is a citizens’ organization dedicated to enjoying and promoting access to our treasured outdoor resources.
