Owned by the Middlesex Land Trust, this fifty-acre parcel was a former dairy farm encompassing woodlands, a hayfield, wetlands, and a feeder creek to Pine Brook. Wander through old fields and venture through a black birch groove, a brook with moss-covered rocks, and a small stand of mountain laurel.

REMEMBER: Follow basic hiking guidelines: Wear good shoes, bring water and simple first aid kit, plus a copy/phone photo of trail map. Check the weather ahead of time, if you go alone, let others know where/when you’re going. All participation is at your own risk. Find a nearby restaurant or ice cream shop to reward yourself after your hike!
