Question 1: Rank each of Gilford’s natural resource features of importance to you using 1-3.

  • Mike Ware Ridge Trail
    Trail Name: Ridge Trail Gilford NH Trail Description: Mike Ware Ridge Trail – Description This white-blazed trail, a segment of Belknap Range Trail, runs from the main parking lot at Gunstock Mountain Resort to the summit of Mt. Rowe, then continues along the ridge to the summit of Gunstock Mtn. A major relocation in 2013 moved the upper part of the trail off the Gunstock ski slopes and into the woods. The Ridge Trail (blazed white) starts 100 yards north of the Gunstock main lodge, just to the right of the Adaptive Ski Center. It runs up an access road for 0.25 mi., turns left, (marked by a white arrow and cell phone tower sign), and joins the old Try-Me Ski Trail. It takes a turn to the right at 0.3 mi., marked by another white arrow. The trail ascends steeply to reach the communications tower at 0.8 mi. Here the trail traverses the summit of Mount Rowe (elev. 1,690 ft.) and its ridge, with great views of Gunstock Ski Area and Lake Winnipesaukee. There is an Earth Scope Plate Boundary Observation/GPS Station at the top of this ridge, run by UNAVCO, NASA and NSF. The Ridge Trail continues on the rocky ridge from this point and at 1.2 mi. descends straight (marked with a white-blazed post). On the right, the Mt. Rowe Trail (blazed blue) descends to the Gilford Elementary School in Gilford Village. In 20 yds. down the Mt. Rowe Trail, the North Spur Trail (blazed orange) leaves left to traverse across the ridge to a junction with the Benjamin Weeks Trail (blazed purple).

  • 2014 Town Report
    Annual Reports of the town of GILFORD New Hampshire for the year ending December 31, 2014 DEDICATION The Gilford Board of Selectmen is pleased to dedicate the 2014 Annual Report to Sheldon Morgan in recogntion of his retirement as the Director of Public Works, effective December 26, 2014, after working for the Town for 42 years. Sheldon began his service to the Gilford community in 1972 when he was hired as an Engineering Aid. Over the years he rose through the ranks until he became the Public Works Director in 1988. During his tenure with the Town, he also served as Health Officer, Cemetery Steward, Deputy Director of Public Works, Highway Superintendent and Assistant Town Engineer. In addition, he represented the Town on the Lakes Region Planning Commission Transportation Advisory Committee, the Winnipesaukee River Basin Project Advisory Board, the Highway Safety Committee and the Concord Regional Solid Waste Cooperative Board of Directors. And throughout his career, many people came to rely upon his vast knowledge, record-keeping and power of recollection as if he were the Town Historian. Sheldon was born and raised in Laconia, and has lived in the Lakes Region all of his life. His parents were both public servants as well - his mother Jeanette worked at the State School and his father Donald worked for the Gilford Highway Department. His wife Judy retired in 2009 after working 37 years for the Town of Gilford, most recently as the Executive Secretary of the Police Department. Although Sheldon insisted that his retirement be a low key affair without any official celebration, hundreds of guests paid their respects at a special breakfast held on December 24, 2014.
