Amherst NH residents always enjoy a good day of sledding and what better place than Bragdon Hill.

Bragdon Hill and  Bragdon Farm is part of a town owned conservation area that  belonged to the family of state Sen. Peter Bragdon, R-Milford, for four generations. The town of Amherst purchased the land in 1995.

Bragdon Hill is located on Route 101 heading towards Bedford. 

At one time,The Amherst/Bedford ski area operated at the former Bragdon Farm in Amherst, NH from 1936 in the early 1970's. The Bragdon Family operated the area. Several nearby schools trained at the hill, which also had night skiing. This was located across the road from the current sledding hill.

There is nice off road parking area with a tunnel that goes under Route 101 to access the sledding hill. The underground tunnel was originally built so the cows could access the field across from the farm without having to cross the road.

 Children and adults alike enjoy the large hill and you will see sleds, skis, snowboards, plastic sleds and inflatable tubes soaring down the hill and hear squeals of delight.
