The loop around Kezar Lake is a fine way to take in fall foliage as you stretch your legs. This is technically a road run, but the terrain will keep you on your toes with a mix of pavement, gravel and dirt. At the south end of the lake you'll find Wadleigh State Park, which even has a small beach.

Eagle's Nest overlook is a rocky outcrop that stands tall at 500ft above the town of Newbury. A break in the trees affords you breathtaking views across Lake Sunapee. It's a great place to stop and catch your breath for a moment.

This short trail to Clark Lookout winds along grassy footpaths and through lush forestry. It's a great trail for kids or people with limited mobility, as it is entirely flat and well-marked.

Pedaling the roads that loop around Kezar Lake is a fine way to take in fall foliage. At the south end of the lake you'll find Wadleigh State Park, which even has a small beach. You might not want to do a complete loop around the lake on skinny road tires, though, due to some rough patches of pavement.
