Spring Trail is a short, easy loop in New Hampshire, about half a mile long and roughly 0.4 miles from the town of Gooch Corner. The trail is nearly flat, with a high point of 62 feet and a low of 49 feet, and it makes a quick outing for anyone passing through the area. The route is a loop, and the climb is gentle. The steepest stretch comes early on, at about 0.1 mile, with a grade of about 5 percent. Bikes and horses are not allowed on the trail. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Epping show July highs around 82°F with lows near 59°F, while September cools to highs in the low 70s. Falls Trail and River Trail both lie within a third of a mile, and Brook Trail is about 0.7 miles away. For climbing, Exeter Area Bouldering is roughly 1.8 miles off.
