The Marshall Land Trail System meanders about 35 acres of old and new forest, through late 1700's stonewalls/fences and down old field roads. This land was originally the homestead of Moses Brown and later in 1847, by Luther Chase.
The primary trail loop, blazed in white, follows an Eagle Scout-restored 14 station nature trail with blue blaze trail segments leading to points of interest such as the 1741 Atkinson/Hampstead town boundary marker, the 1847 Luther Chase cellar, and views of Boulder Cove at Big Island Pond. There are several exit trails blazed in red that lead to adjacent roadways and one which provides access to the Hampstead trail system.
Atkinson Trail Use Guidelines
The Atkinson Conservation Commission was established in 1974 with the mission to provide a focal point within the town for environmental concerns. It is responsible for establishing public use regulations for the Town’s conservation lands and welcomes community volunteers to help maintain its trails. The Town’s trails are for passive recreation only and all motorized vehicles are prohibited on conservation land, including snowmobiles.

The primary trailhead is off Boulder Cover Road with limited parking and a secondary trailhead off West Road at the Hampstead trailhead with abundant parking.
