We invite cachers to visit 20 NEFF-owned Community Forests throughout New England!
The theme is water in the woods. Forests are natural filters that provide clean water for plants, animals and people. Participating geocachers will discover rivers, lakes, creeks, swimming holes, and springs to learn about how forests provide clean water.
New England Forestry Foundation is a non-profit organization committed to conserving forest lands throughout the region. We are happy to welcome Geocachers to enjoy our forests!

Directions to the Forest:
Start from the junction of Rte. 3 and Rte. 25B (3 miles north of Meredith). Go east on 25B for 0.3 miles. Turn left (north) onto College Rd. Go 0.3 miles for the first forest entrance and main parking area, and 0.5 miles for the entrance to the beach trails.
Once You're There:
Bring your dog, a towel, and an ice-cold drink to this scenic spot! This spot is teaming with wildlife- on still days you can watch the bass swimming around in the water.
About The Forest:
This property was given to NEFF in 1953 by Mr. John C. Wister of Swarthmore, Pennsylvania. The forest borders Squam Lake and is named for two of Mr. Wister's friends - Allen Chamberlain and Harris Reynolds, active supporters and officers of NEFF. Mr. Wister was the Director of the Arthur Hoyt Scott Horticultural Foundation of Swarthmore College and Director of the John T. Tyler Arboretum in Lima, Pennsylvania.
The Chamberlain-Reynolds Memorial Forest is one of the most popular public access spots in the Squam Lakes Region and an excellent example of private non-profit organizations cooperating to maintain a managed forest and natural area. The Squam Lake Association (SLA) maintains 3.5 miles of gentle hiking trails through the forest and has constructed a bird observation boardwalk in the wetland area. The property retains a feeling of remoteness and seclusion, with its backdrop of huge pine and expanse of water and distant mountains.
The frontage on the lake is critical nesting area for loons. Dogs are permitted only if leashed. Trail maps and reservations for camping can be obtained by contacting SLA (603-968-7336).
