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.” Note: All public paddling events and the Andover Scramble event have been cancelled for 2020.
New Andover Bike Loops!
The newly established Andover bike trails are available on these links:
10-mile
25-mile
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.
