Trail Description

Look for the trailhead at the green Clark Bog sign in Hanover’s Forge Pond Park, near Parking Lot C. There is also access from King Street. Be sure to remain on marked trails (red blazes) and be mindful of Private Property signs. The Hanover Police Department’s Shooting Range is immediately adjacent! A metal gate marks the boundary between the Clark Bog Trail and the Old Rockland Fireworks Loop Trail.

Habitats and Wildlife

This property used to be a cranberry bog, so it features relatively wide, sandy paths around ponds and wetlands. Of particular interest is the extremely dense new growth of young trees where the cranberries used to grow.
