Birch Ridge offers recreational opportunities for all to enjoy! Thirteen miles of trails offer great access for hikers, cross-country skiers, and birders with wonderful views of the Lake and all the way to Mt. Washington. Snowmobilers know Birch Ridge well, as it includes Corridor 22, the main east-west snowmobile corridor south of Lake Winnipesaukee that connects Maine to central New Hampshire.
