You can always hear the crunch of the snow more clearly without the whir of the lifts getting in the way. And thanks to the 20km of cross-country skiing and snowshoeing trails at King Pine, you can hear a whole lot of that satisfying sound. With access to Purity Spring XC & Snowshoe Reserve, you’ll find trails that wind through the forests around Purity Lake, traverse the grounds of Purity Spring Resort and twist through tall pines in the adjacent Hoyt/Audubon Wildlife Sanctuary. Our grooming is minimal, there is no skate or classic track grooming, and our trails are open from sunrise to sunset and our terrain ranges from intermediate to advanced. Snowshoe equipment and cross-country ski rentals when conditions permit are available at the King Pine Rental Shop. And Nordic trail passes and tickets can be obtained online or from the King Pine base lodge.
We do not allow dogs on our Nordic trails on weekends or during holiday periods. However, well-behaved dogs can join their owners for adventures midweek during non-holiday periods. We simply ask that owners have a leash ready when passing others and are considerate of other trail users’ experiences.
With the companionship of a group and the expertise of a guide, you can travel the NH Audubon’s Hoyt Wildlife Sanctuary Loop in a whole new way.

Fat biking offers both a cardio and a balance challenge—making it one of the best wintertime workouts. And at King Pine, we allow fat-tire biking on many of our Nordic trails. However, you must have a valid Nordic trail pass and comply with all our fat biking policies.
