Directions by Car to Strolling Woods
in Franklin, New Hampshire
Photos of Strolling Woods These are directions for traveling North on Interstate 93 from Concord, NH and other points further South such as Manchester, NH and Boston, MA Note: If you want to stop and pick up some groceries on your way, just turn off on Exit 14 in Concord, go straight through the lights at the end of the exit ramp onto Fort Eddy Road. There are 3 grocery stores on that road. Then return to 93 North. It'll take about 1/2 hour at the speed limit to get to Strolling Woods from exit 14. There's a nearer (Hannaford) grocery store Franklin (within 10 - 15 min driving time from Strolling Woods) but it is not along this route.
Take exit number 17 off Interstate 93 North from Boston/Manchester/Concord. The sign will say Rt 4 towards Rt.3/PENACOOK/RT-132/BOSCAWEN and Franklin Keep RIGHT at the fork in the ramp to merge onto Rt 4. You’ll then be on a bridge on Rt 4 going back over I93. Continue on Rt 4 while Rt 3 North joins up with it from the left. Go straight through downtown Boscawen (tiny). At the end of downtown Boscawen, you will see a white church where Rt. 4 and Rt. 3 split. Rt. 4 goes to the left side of the church and Rt.3 goes to the right side. Stay on the right side continuing North on Rt.3 towards Franklin for 8 miles. You will now be in downtown West Franklin at the one stop light there. Go straight through the stop light continuing North now on Rt. 3A and West on Rt.11. Go 1 mile to where Rt 11 turns off to the left towards Andover and Rt. 3A goes straight on North towards Hill. Right before this turn, on the corner, is the restaurant called Mr. D’s, and after the turn, on the opposite corner, is a convenience store/gas station/laundry called Robert’s Market. Take this left up a little hill onto Rt. 11 West towards Andover. Go 1 mile, on Rt. 11 and you will see the Griffin public beach on the right, which is at the base of Webster Lake. Continue another mile now to Lake Shore Drive, which will appear on your right on the top side of Webster Lake. Take the right turn on to Lake Shore Drive and drive 1.1 miles to Strolling Woods on Lake Shore Drive. On the right you will see a white boat house, screen gazebo, and beach. On the left are a row of whiskey barrels with plants in them and a long driveway and a big new house. Take the left on to that driveway, park on the right side or on the left side after the house and come to the glass entry door, which is in the middle of the side of the house that faces the lake. Please note that to keep the marble and wood floors in this building scratch-free, we go shoeless when inside. Of course you are welcome to bring your own indoor foot covering. We also have slip-on shoe covers in the entry area if you prefer them. If you find anything is wrong with these directions, please let us know so we can improve them for others. Thank you.
