Adams Point, Durham

1.4 miles, loop

Directions: From Durham, from the junction of Main Street and Route 108, follow Route 108 south for 0.4 mile.  Bear left onto Durham Point Road, which later becomes Bay Road; follow for about 3.8 miles.  Turn left onto Adams Point Road.

From Newmarket, just north of downtown Newmarket on Route 108, cross the bridge over the Lamprey River and then turn right onto Bay Road; follow for about 3.8 miles.  Turn right onto Adams Point Road.

At the Adams Point Road turn is a mailbox labelled "Jackson Lab" and a chain link gate bars access from 10 pm through 4 am.  Follow Adams Point Road for about 0.9 mile; you will pass a boat launch and a lower parking area.  Continue for another 0.1 mile to the upper parking area at the end of the road on the right.  (You may park in either the upper or lower lot or any of the other small parking areas in between.  Don't park in the Jackson Estuarine Lab parking area.)

Start the hike by walking away from the Jackson Lab and the road; head down through the meadow and to the shoreline trail.

Watch out for poison ivy, especially in the field.
