Permitted and Non-Permitted Uses
In general, all Andover trail areas are open to the public from dawn to dusk. All areas and trails listed allow hiking, running, and cross-country skiing.

Bicycles: AVIS properties do not allow mountain bikes because they damage fragile trails. On all properties, mountain bikers should consider the condition of the trails before using them. Wet trails are easily ruined for all users by mountain bike ruts.

​Motorized transport: None of the properties allow motorized vehicles on any of the trails.

Fires should not be built on any of these lands. Camping is allowed in season only in Harold Parker State Forest campground. Scout groups may contact AVIS or Andover Conservation Commission for camping permits on selected properties.

Hunting: For the most updated information on hunting in Andover, please visit this Town of Andover hunting web page: Fishing in any inland waters requires a state license.
