The Gramwick Trail travels about 0.7 mile along the shore over numerous, short boardwalks until reaching an intersection. At the juncture, an opening to your left provides access to the water while the trail continues to the right. The trail then merges with a snowmobile trail and, to the left, there is another waterside lookout; this one with a bench.
As you follow this out-and-back trail, look for such wildlife as herons, ducks, frogs, and beavers.
Herb and Colette Gramm graciously donated this 77-acre piece of land to the Monadnock Conservancy in May 2016 with the goal of maintaining the existing trail and protecting this mile-long section of the reservoir shoreline. The Gramwick Trail is named after the Gramms and their friend, Tom Sedgwick, who built the original trail.

From downtown Jaffrey: From the intersection at Main Street and Route 202, head south on River Street (Route 202) for 0.4 mile. Turn right onto Gilmore Pond Road. After about a mile, when you reach the intersection with Sandy Lane, stay left continuing on Gilmore Pond Road. Go another 0.7 mile; turn left on Peabody Hill Road. Head down the hill. The parking lot and trailhead are on the left, just after the bridge.
