Birding Outing at Dubes Pond

Join NH Audubon for a birding outing at Dubes Pond in Hooksett, with pond-edge wetlands, wooded buffer zones, and open water views. In the past, we have seen birds such as Wood Ducks, Great Blue Herons, and a variety of warblers. This is an informal birding outing led by local birder and NH Audubon volunteer Joe Mahoney. All ages and skill levels of birders are welcome. If you are new to birding, come and learn the basics! If you are an avid birder, come to learn new techniques, network with other birders, or share your expertise with the group. This is a free event. A limited number of binoculars will be available to borrow, but please bring your own if you have them! Dress for the weather with sturdy shoes. Expect to walk between 1-2 miles over varied trails with some elevation change through grassy and wooded terrain. Trails may be soggy or muddy in the rainy season. Please leave pets at home for this outing. Walking trail that follows portions of the pond shoreline and adjacent conservation land. Sections of the trail cross private property that is protected by a conservation easement held by the Town of Hooksett. The route includes a mix of flat and uneven terrain and is used for walking and other low‑impact recreation. Access to the pond is available from Whitehall Road at a small car‑top launch area near the older dam. There are no formal visitor facilities, and trail conditions vary with weather and season.
