About This Trail

Imported description

The 210 acre reserve is near the SE Mass Bioreserve. There are a lot of easy to moderate loop trails that provide easy access to some pretty terrain. The dirt road which goes down the side of the property leads to a gentle entrance or exit from the green and blue trails. In the spring and after rains, the red trail can be muddy, but it is worth the effort to see the ruins of an old mill. The New Fall RiverRod and Gun club is a neighbor to the reserve and should be aware of the signs on their property.
