I went out last night on the Devils Den Cavarly Mt. trails.
they opened them a week or so early due to a light mud season.
the ride up Caverly was a little rough as usual but well worth the ride for the awesome views of Winni.

happy motoring!

Parking is off Rines Road in east Alton.
Rines road from the Alton circle is approx. 7.5 miles on the right heading towards Wolfeboro.
once on Rines road go about 3/4 of mile and the road will turn to dirt at the fork, there you can go straight or right. STAY STRAIGHT and go about .25 to 1/2 mile there will be signs along the way directing you to parking.
keep going until you go over a wooden bridge which is part of the trail and the parking area is on the left. (past the sand pits)

the sinage is good so it's fairly easy to find.

The New Durham/devils den area has a lot of chalanging trails with logging roads and various terain. you could spend better part of a day and not hit the same trial twice. it would be perfect for what you just bought.

i do not know much about the trails around Rochester, sorry!

i went there once, and ill probably never go back. unless you have a big 4x4 with good ground clearance, you wont have any funn. i took my z400 there, and must have bottomed out about 50 times. i only remember about 1 or 2 miles of logging road, the rest was just rough. And ya that mountain was pretty sketchy, its a rough ride up, and a rough ride down. others may like the system, but if your on a sport quad, you probably wont.

SORRY TO HEAR THAT.
YOU MUST HAVE MISSED THE ROADS AS THERE ARE SEVERAL MILES OF ROADS WITH NO ROCKS.
THE MT. IS NOT A GOOD CHOICE FOR A SPORT QUAD!
THERE ARE MANY GOOD TRAILS TO BE HAD UP THERE,JUST NEED TO LOOK AROUND.

The power lines by Rochester Motorsports on RT 11 are not legal to ride although many seem to ride there. I'm the president of the Tri-City Trailblazers and we have a few miles open starting at Garrison Hill in Dover over to Rollinsford. We are trying to get up through Somersworth and Rochester to some day hopefully join up with New Durham trails. I have been trying to get interest from folks in Rochester area so we can try and get some more trails up that way open, but nobody has stepped up to the plate....everyone wants to ride not help build trails. I have never ridden those power lines in Rochester with a quad, but seems as though land owners aren't stopping people. If some guys want to help me out we could try and get that area legal.

I used to ride - drive through there 20+ years ago.There used to be a truck eating mudhole on the ten rod road end of the rt 11 section.I think there has always been some kind of landowner hangup on one section or the other through the years.There are a lot of old trails in the area that have been abandoned.We used to come across the powerlines, cross 202a, go out behind the reservor down the pipeline either going up onto dry-hill road,or four corners, or folllowing the pipeline to rochester and dairy queen ,cross the turnpike behind the current home depot,go across the horse trail back to sampson road How about up to Blue Job? Barnstead?Milton? Used to be possible.There were just as many on the east side of rochester also. Sad thing is these and many other unused trails are still there-just grown in,and without landowner permissions in place.There just isnt enough involvement by riders to make it happen.I also know I never had permission back then,if there was a trail there we went,sometimes we went and made our own.Has anyone from the atv club tried to contact any of the landowners on the existing rt 11 snowmobile trails.I know I havent been,and I also remember spending a couple of hours this spring raking in the ruts left in the snowmobile trail by a couple of atvs who rode past all the signs and gates.Powdermills trails are being prepared so we can ride on minimal amounts of snow,4 wheeled usage is counterproductive to that.Unless the state steps in and takes corridor easements from landowners by imminent domain (not going to happen)it will probably never be possible to get an interconnected atv trail system in this state.And as time and development roll on, the snowmobile trails will probably need that kind of protection(also not going to happen).Why havent the local dealers organized some sort of club.How many atvs has been sold locally in the last ten years?Everyone of those sales should represent at least one club member.Where are they?
