The Discovery Interpretive Trail is located just off the Kancamagus Scenic Byway in the White Mountain National Forest, near Lincoln. This 1.5-mile has gentle grades (no more than 8%) and a gravel surface made up of two connecting loops. Interpretive signs along the route describe local forest ecology and land management practices.
As of summer of 2025, the trail shows signs of disrepair, in the forms of significant erosion and of overgrown vegetation bocking the path.
