About This Trail

Imported description

There are several trails in the Rice Nature Preserve. Tom Leary did a lot to establish the Rice Nature Preserve. The map that you see has several of the other trails in the preserve, as well as the trail named after Tom. The trail leads to a view of Wilbraham, the Pioneer Valley and the Holyoke range, as most reviewers have noted. The committee added a boardwalk to the beginning of the trail in order to make it easier to navigate. You can find more information about the Rice Nature Preserve at the Town of Wilbraham's website.
