All hail Richard Rogers who preserved this land in the 1950s for public use. Today it is among the nicest flat and easy woodland walks in the Piscataqua River region – and dogs are welcomed – as long as they and their masters behave.

It is gone now, irreparably damaged by a storm in 1935. But it remains known for its famous manager. Captain Charles H. Hinckley was known as the shortest lighthouse keeper in the world.
