Paint, draw, scupt, or photograph one of Five Rivers’ conserved landscapes
Some of Five Rivers’ conserved properties make great destinations for painting a view, sketching plants, or snapping photos. Some possibilities:
- From the highest point of the loop trail in Concord’s Swope Park, you’ll find photo-worthy views of nearby Penacook Lake and distant mountains. Click here for more information.
- Along the trails in the Bohanan and Dustin easements in Hopkinton, a forested landscape provides plenty of opportunities for sketching fields, streams, forests, and marshy landscapes. Click here for trail maps.
- You probably know that Carter Hill Orchard in Concord is home to 45 acres of apple and peach trees and cross-country ski trails, but did you know that it also offers some of the best views in the Capital Region? From the observation platform you can photograph or sketch the White Mountains without leaving Concord. Click here for more information.
- In the 117-acre Therrien easement at the northern edge of Canterbury, you can follow trails and logging roads through a diverse forest. Two ponds provide peaceful water views and habitat for an array of wildlife, from beaver and fox to herons and warblers. And in the fall, the ponds mirror the trees’ changing colors.
