Go for a short hike at Kilburn Crags.
There are many short hikes near Littleton, but we like Kilburn Crags for its relatively quick, easy ascent, and great views looking towards the White Mountains. Go early in the morning or later in the day if you would like to up your chances of snagging a parking spot in the very small lot.
Rent a bike and pedal along the Cross New Hampshire Adventure Trail.
Did you know the 83-mile Cross New Hampshire Trail passes right through Littleton? Rent a bike in town at Littleton Bike & Fitness or BYOB (bring your own bike) and enjoy a woodsy pedaling session. If you’re craving more of a workout, consider downhill mountain biking at PRKR Mtn Trails.
