The Little Harbor Loop Trail at Wentworth-Coolidge Mansion State Historic Site in Portsmouth, New Hampshire is an easy 1.8-mile loop trail with views of Portsmouth Harbor.

This loop trail is just a few minutes drive from downtown Portsmouth. It's a nice walk for people of all ages and skill levels. Most of the trail wanders through the woods, with a few scenic spots along the bay.

This recording starts at the mansion parking lot and heads west to two main lookout points along the harbor. After visiting the two lookout points, approximately 0.6-miles into the hike, the trail then heads south and meanders through the woods. Eventually, the trail will lead out to one last vista point along the eastern side of the loop before it heads back to the parking lot at the mansion to complete the entire hike at 1.8-miles long.

What to Bring
Bring bug spray in the summer, as there were a decent amount of mosquitoes on this trail.

Parking
You can park at the end of the road near the Wentworth Coolidge museum or near Creek Farm road. Both places have clearly marked trail access.

Pets
No dogs allowed on the trails.

Before you leave...

MyHikes is an indie web platform aimed to make exploring public trails easier for everyone. The site has no investors and is owned and operated by one person, Dave Miller (Founder & Admin). As the Founder, main contributor, and doer-of-all-things for MyHikes, I share my trips with over-detailed write-ups for fun on a volunteer basis and I believe that public trail information should be available to everyone.

It takes a lot of time 🕦, money 💰, and effort (including espresso shots ☕) to run MyHikes, including hiking , mapping , writing , and publishing new trails with high-quality content... along with building new features, moderating, site maintainance, and app development for iOS and Android . I simply ask that if you find MyHikes' trail guides helpful to please consider becoming a Supporter to help keep the site, iOS, and Android apps available to everyone.

Supporters unlock website and in-app perks with a one-time payment of $25 (you renew) 😎👍. Or you can simply make a Donation of your choice without a MyHikes user account. Otherwise, telling your friends about MyHikes is the next-best thing - both quick and free 🎉

Thanks for visiting MyHikes and have a great hike!️
