The four trails in the Little Sunapee Associates Forest are color coded: Red, Blue, Yellow and Orange (the Orange Blossom Trail).
The Yellow Trail starts at southern gate on Little Sunapee Road which then follows the brook flowing from Little Sunapee Lake to Goose Hole Pond. The trail turns right at the edge of the I-89 right-of-way and proceeds along the fence marking the right-of-way to a sharp right turn at a property boundary. Property boundaries are marked in red. The Yellow Trail then ascends along the boundary, crests the hill, and descends to an intersection with the Blue Trail. The Yellow Trail is the steepest on the property and it ascends nearly 200 feet in a quarter mile
The Blue Trail can be followed in two directions. One way is to the right and to an intersection with the Orange Blossom Trail and the other is continued straight up the rise then turn right and proceed down to a trail that runs between the northern gate on Little Sunapee Road and the gate on Burnt Hill Road (not blazed but shown in red on the map).The Yellow Trail is the steepest on the property as shown in the trail profile. It ascends nearly 200 feet in a quarter mile
The Orange Blossom Trail starts at the Yellow trail, goes uphill to the intersection with the Blue Trail then down to the northern gate on Little Sunapee Road.
The Red Trail is on the other side of Burnt Hill Road. It provides a pleasant walk in the forest to gate. It is on an old logging road that is ideal for cross-county skiing or snow shoeing.
The trails are maintained by the New England Forestry Foundation.
