BIshop Cardinal Preserve
A 69-acre tract of land to the west of Horseshoe Pond Road, adjacent to the White Mountain National Forest, and access to the trail system leading to Lord’s Hill. There are two circular trails that traverse this upland environment that is bisected by a seasonal stream.
In 1998 the GLLT purchased the 69 acres west of the Horseshoe Pond Road now known as the Bishop Cardinal Reserve. The 69 acre Reserve is managed to preserve water quality and support recreation, wildlife habitat and sustainable wood products.This reserve is host to a significant beech and northern hardwood forest supporting black bear, dear, moose and many more native species. Two small streams flow throughout the year. A small group of majestic and aged hemlocks are present along the northern boundary.
The GLLT has constructed two loop trails, with the Red Trail merging in-to the trail to the Lord’s Hill mine and overlook, on the White Mountain National Forest.
