The 1.7 mile Conway Recreation Path at the Pine Hill Community Forest is a multi-use recreation path along the Saco River, jointly managed by the Mount Washington Valley Trails Association and the Upper Saco Valley Land Trust. From the trailhead kiosk, the Recreation path travels 0.5 miles before passing beneath Route 302 and entering the Upper Saco Valley Land Trust's Pine Hill Community Forest. The Path continues along the bank of the Saco River, before reaching a trail junction. A 0.5 mile spur continues straight to the private Lamplighter Residential Community. The official Rec Path trail turns north at this junction and continues 1.2 miles to Kennett High School.
The 1.2 mile Ravine Trail is a packed gravel multi-use path that connects The Conway Rec Path to Kennett High School and NH Route 302 via the Cold Brook "Ravine", a tributary of the Saco River to the South.
The 0.75 mile Commuter Trail at the Pine Hill Community Forest parallels NH Route 16 and serves primarily as a safe and direct commuting alternative for walkers and bikers traveling between Conway Village and North Conway.
Approximately 0.8 miles of the "Pine Hill Loop" off the Corridor 19 Snowmobile Trail is located at the Pine Hill Community Forest. In the winter this trail is also available to skiers and snowshoers with caution, and in the summer it is mowed and accessible for foot and bike travel.

The Community Forest can be accessed from the Town of Conway's Smith-Eastman Park at the end of Meetinghouse Road in Conway, NH.
