How to access |
| Town Forest |
Vibrant wild communities and a unique walking experience can be found in this little-known woodland sandwiched between I-95 N and I-95 S. An abundance of birds call this parcel home, so please be careful to stay on trail and not to disturb them. Note that some trails are quite steep and rocky. |
Access via metal gate at 936 Washington St. No official parking is available. |
| Manor Fields Woodlands |
This woodland has glacial features and a seasonal stream. A hill in the heart of the property offers a view of the many tree and wildflower species that grow here. |
Parking available at 322 Sprague Street. From the parking lot, go down the hill and across the ball fields. The trailhead is located behind the baseball diamond. |
| Wigwam Pond |
From the parking area, a flat paved trail leads to a canoe and kayak launch offering views of Wigwam Pond and surrounding wetlands. |
Parking at 119 Quabbish road, though it can be difficult to locate. Please follow this GPS point for precise parking location |
