From the National Forest Service:
Come explore the White Mountain National Forest and discover the rich history of hiking and recreation Hike Safely!
Please be prepared for trail conditions that vary from well maintained to un-maintained. Whether your hiking trip will last an hour or an entire day, wear comfortable walking shoes appropriate for the season. Carry water and a good map of the area. Let someone at home know where you are going.
Please be aware of your impact on the natural environment and practice leave-no-trace hiking and camping techniques at all times. If you plan to bring your pet, keep it on a leash or under voice control to help minimize the public's concern regarding safety, sanitation, and the threat to wildlife. Please pack out any trash you may have so others may enjoy a completely natural outdoor experience.
If you travel in the spring, be careful when walking near streams. Snow runoff can increase water depth and swiftness and decrease water temperature to dangerous levels. Stay away from streambanks at this time and resist the temptation to swim or wade.
