About 50 miles of fire roads on Manchester Water Works Land are accessible to the public for running, hiking, and biking use. Detailed trail maps of the fire roads are provided by Manchester Water Works.
Some areas of the watershed are restricted from public use to protect water quality. All users should pay attention to postings at trailheads and be aware that the area is patrolled by Manchester Water Works Watershed Patrolmen. Please follow all rules and regulations for use of this land and remember that our primary goal is to protect the drinking water supply. More information on biking around Lake Massabesic can be found on the Friends of Massabesic Bicycling Association (FOMBA) website www.fomba.org.
The trails are well-marked and include a loop to the Massabesic Audubon Center in Auburn, NH, a wildlife sanctuary located on a historic farm site. More information about the center can be found on the NH Audubon website:

Pets are permitted on the trails, but pet waste must be removed by owners and pets may not enter the water.
