Park in Noanet Woodlands parking area off Powisset Street in Dover. The trailhead and initial trails are in Noanet but then you cross over into the Hale Reservation where the bulk of the hike is located. Continue up and over Strawberry Hill then down to the beach at Powisset Pond via the Strawberry Hill Trail. Continue up and around then down to the road which takes you back to the parking area. Plenty of alternate ways to do this one.
Good trail - tough if If you are running because it’s pretty rocky. Parking lot is big but it does get full. Good peak for viewing - ends in a road so you need to over Powisett Peak.
It was great once I got past all the people. became a moderate trail for about a half a mile to a quarter mile still very easy.
Loved this walk! Trail was interesting, definitely easy but had some character that made it feel like a good workout. Very quiet - only saw 2 other hiking parties and a handful of bikers the whole time! 4 stars because at the end you are walking on a busy, windy road which felt like a weird ending to such a gorgeous and quiet morning.
Great time! Even with the lot overflowed and lots of cars parked on the side of the road it was still quiet and I barely saw any other people. I thought everything was really well marked and even the easy trails required some good technique!
Trail is in great shape. Bugs, especially gnats are aggressive. Missed a couple of turns so you have to watch the map. I took the trail to the last overlook rather than hike on the road. The view from the top of that last hill the the best the whole hike.
Nice hidden trail. Lots of bugs near the water. Lots of ups and downs make for good exercise.
I've been running through these woods for 20 years and only discovered Strawberry Hill recently via this app. A cool little hill with a very nice trail and plenty of ledges along the way. Drop down to the Pond and do a loop there if you want, or jump in! You can combine this with a trek up Powisset Peak too. A great property!
