Sweet Trail Boulders Climbing

The Sweet Trail is the area's premiere hiking trail. It runs 4.3 miles from the end of Longmarsh Road in Durham all the way to the shores of Great Bay in Newmarket. The trail weaves past beautiful wetlands, through both dense and open forests, and climbs several small hills. With multiple access points along the way, the trail can be done in sections or as a whole from one end to the other. The trail passes several sections of ledges and boulders throughout it's length providing some good opportunity for fun bouldering. For those looking for a place to start, the Temple is not to be missed. The trail is bisected by Dame Road and the bouldering descriptions have been split into two sub-areas (North and South) using Dame Road as a boundary.

From the original posting of Sweet Trail by "nhclimber" (excerpted prior to deletion, with nhclimber's permission, for clarity) : The Sweet Trail runs from Longmarsh Rd in Durham to the Great Bay in Newmarket just up the road from the nature conservancy's Great Bay office.  A mountain bike or adventurous hiker will be reward with boulders and small cliff bands with amazing potential with problems of all grades.  Dame Rd breaks the trail into 1.8mi and 2.2mi sections with really fun biking albeit one short carry. [ Biking is no longer allowed, except for a short 02mi stretch.]
