Ludden’s Ford Park (Pembroke)
ADA: No
Free
Located in Pembroke, Ludden’s Ford Park (Pembroke) is a 34 acre property through beautiful woodland. This trail system is perfect for hiking. It is hard to imagine now, but only about 150 years ago this was a booming industrial site -- the Clapp Rubber Works, founded in 1873, was once the largest of its kind in the country and stood on both sides of the river. Look for remnants of the old factory in the woods just south of the walking trail. Also explore Camp Wing Conservation Area and Misty Meadows Conservation Area, other trails in Pembroke. Try Hanson Veterans Memorial Town Forest for a similar trail experience featuring woods.
