OSSIPEE — Winding its way through woods and wetlands to a picturesque view of Ossipee Lake, the newly restored Deer Run accessible boardwalk in Ossipee's Constitution Park will have its official opening at 11 a.m. on Saturday at the trailhead in the lower parking area off Conservation Trail Road.
The trail is the latest accomplishment by the non-profit organization Friends of Constitution Park Ossipee founded by town resident Edwina Boose.
