Tucker and French Trails

French South Trail to Tucker Trail to Moses Way. Follow around to the Mill Pond Loop back to French South Trail. From there pop out to the Patten Island Loop Trail to add a little more mileage and it's very pretty out in there, then back out on French South to the parking lot. In total it will take 1.5 to 2 hours and cover 3.75 to 5 miles depending on whether we the do the Patten Island loop. The trails are mixed with babbling brooks, a varied forest canopy of pine, spruce, birch and hardwoods, several pond areas complete with beaver habitat, foot bridges, old roads, connecting foot paths, stone walls and an old mill site. The area teams with bird life. Snowmobiles are able to use some of the trails so they are often packed after a new snow making walking in there a bit easier. It is frequented by snow-shoers and cross country skiers as well. There are some small hills which can be a bit slick so I recommend micro-cleats or spikes especially given the conditions now. http://seltnh.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/Trail-Map_Tucker-French-Family-Forest_web.pdf
