A quiet walk to Church Pond

The other day, I wanted a quiet morning walk in the heart of the National Forest. I decided to go to Church Pond. I threw my water shoes in my car as well as regular gear. I would need them to cross the modest Swift River at the start of the trail.

From Conway I drove out the Kancamagus Highway 14.9 miles to the Passaconaway Campground on the right. Driving into the campground, I took the first left-hand loop road and drove around to the two car parking lot for the Church Pond Trail on the left, just after the campground caretaker’s trailer.
