About Adams Point Wildlife Management Area
Location: Adam's Point is located at the end of Adam's Point Road in Durham, 1.0 miles from Bay Road. From the junction of NH-108 and NH-152 in downtown Newmarket, go north 0.3 miles just past the bridge over the Lamprey River, and turn right on Bay Road. Follow for 4.0 miles to Adams Point Road, which is unmarked, but there is a sign for the Jackson Estuarine Lab.

From the junction of US-4 and NH-108 north of Durham, follow NH-108 south for 1.1 miles to Durham Point Road, and turn left. Follow that road, which changes its name to Bay Road somewhere along the route for 3.8 miles to Adams Point Road.

The University of New Hampshire's Jackson Estuarine Lab is located at the end of the road, along with a small dirt parking area and a series of trails for exploring the bay and nearby habitats. A trail map is available from the Town of Durham.

This is another location from which to scan the bay for waterfowl (Canada Goose by the hundreds in fall and winter and Mute Swans, in particular), Bald Eagles, and other species. Watch for Eastern Bluebirds and other land birds along the trails. Pileated Woodpecker and Red-breasted Nuthatch may be found along the road to the point.

The boat launch on Adams Point Road, .8 mile from Bay Road, is also worth a stop to scan Little Bay to the north and the small pans and marsh to the south.
