See the "Visiting NH's Biodiversity" brochure on Hurlburt Swamp, produced by the N.H. Natural Heritage Bureau.

There's a good chance you'll find signs of moose, deer, bear, beaver or other wildlife at this exceptional 313-acre nothern white cedar swamp preserve. There are also several species of rare wildflowers.

The frozen ground in the winter makes for easier access, however, it is beautiful in all seasons. A one mile bog bridge trail was completed at the preserve during the spring of 1998.

Directions:

• From Colebrook, New Hampshire, take Route 145 North 9 miles.
• Just beyond Clarksville town line, turn left onto West Road.
• Travel 1.5 miles to a dirt road on the left at a small artificial pond.
• Follow this dirt road 1.1 miles to the preserve. (Note and follow wooden signs with "TNC" and oak leaf.)
