Location Details
This town-owned property contains 140 acres of woodlands, streams, a shallow pond, and a network of trails. The trails are very easy to follow. The main trail loop brings hikers to the pond, connects them to the subdivision open space, and eventually leads them back to the main entrance. The Brook Trail (yellow) and Hill Top Trail (red) provide another access to the main loop. All trails provide users with a diversity of natural sights and sounds. Keep your eye out for beaver dams.
