Revolutionary War-era carriage roads and historic rock cairns take hikers back in time. Trails are hilly, interspersed with several calm, flowing streams. The 860 acre property includes some areas of rocky landscape that are perfect for strenuous exercise as well as wildlife observation.
We'll be doing more strenuous hiking than wildlife watching, the wildlife never stays still long enough for us to watch it.

Please be prepared for the hike with good hiking boots, extra water for hydration and protection from ticks.
The terrain is hilly and rugged in places and the pace will be steady with stops along the way as needed.
