Squam Lakes Natural Trail Season Extended

 

Live animal exhibit trail near Songbird Feeding Station

Holderness, NH – Squam Lakes Natural Science Center is excited to announce that they are extending their trail season past the usual November 1 trail closure. The Science Center live animal exhibit trail and all hiking trails will remain open on Saturdays and Sundays through November 30.

The extension of the trail season at Squam Lakes Natural Science Center offers more opportunities for families and nature enthusiasts to enjoy the scenic beauty and live animal exhibits that highlight the diverse wildlife and the importance of conservation in New Hampshire and New England.

Most of the wild animals at Squam Lakes Natural Science Center are orphaned, injured, or otherwise unable to survive in the wild. They serve as ambassadors of their species to educate visitors about the natural world. Because they are native to the area, they have adaptations that allow them to remain throughout all seasons, or migrate. All of the animals at the Science Center live there year-round and migratory species are moved to heated facilities.

In addition to the live animal exhibit trail and hiking trails, the Howling Coyote Gift Shop will also be open. The Howling Coyote features nature-inspired books, toys, clothing, and gifts and proceeds support the mission of the Science Center, to advance understanding of ecology by exploring New Hampshire’s natural world.

Weekend hours will be Saturdays and Sundays from 10:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. with the last admission at 2:00 p.m. Trail admission rates are $26 for adults; $24 for seniors (age 65+); $20 for youth (ages 3 to 15); free for children 2 and under and for Science Center members.

Learn about all upcoming programs, events, and membership at www.nhnature.org.
