Ooms Conservation Area: Meadow & Pond Hike

Ooms' pastoral landscape is said to capture the essence of Columbia County. It includes 3 miles of trails on 180 acres of land and offers visitors year-round opportunities to enjoy the rolling grasslands around Sutherland Pond. Most of the trails here are wide, mowed, grass paths. This site has benches, gazebo, and strong cell reception. Trails may be muddy after rain.
