Pondicherry Wildlife Sanctuary - Nature Walk or bike ride (on gravel - Flat Terrain), one of the places I love going to is The Pondicherry Rail Trail. Pondicherry is a wildlife preserve with a trail that runs through it for bikers and walkers/runners. It has great views of the Presidentials from the observation deck and is a really beautiful spot in all 4 seasons. The observation deck that is one of my favorites to visit. It overlooks the pond and you can see the Presidential Mountain Range in the distance. Trailhead address: Presidential Rail Trail, 289 Airport Road, Whitefield, NH 03598

Nestled beneath the mountains north of the Presidential Range, Pondicherry Wildlife Refuge has often been called one of the “crown jewels” of New Hampshire’s landscape, and visitors to the site will easily understand why. The ponds, wetlands, and forests of this refuge support a wide variety of significant ecological features. The sweeping views from the wetlands and ponds are truly unique, and the hiking trails through lowland spruce – fir forest provide an easy way to experience this characteristic natural community of New Hampshire’s North Country in person.

If you are a bird watcher this is the place to be. Access from Airport Rd in Whitefield, it's an easy 1.5 mile hike or bike into Big Cherry Pond. Spectacular views of presidentials. Bring bug spray!

The trails at Pondicherry Wildlife Refuge offer sweeping views of Cherry Pond and the Presidential Range of the White Mountains. Seven trails interlace and connect to the Cohos Trail and the Presidential Rail Trail.

Down and back short, flat trail. A good portion is on a platform walkway through the woods. View is of a small pond, an forest/trees (no mountain views). Snowshoeing trail (mud pond trail) opens in the winter.
