Nice wooded area - conservation land. Much of it is an easy walk. Some is moderate. Well managed by Essex Greenbelt, who recently carved out a few parking spaces, greatly improving accessibility of this little gem.

Beautiful hidden gem. Some nice view areas and gorgeous hundred year old pine forest! Heard a large owl. No major wildlife sightings, though. Mile and half loop trail with some trails in between. Parking is limited.

A small loop of pretty easy walking with wide, well maked trails. I completed the loop and got almost 5000 steps (with some side trail detours). I visited in late June and there was a remarkable number of horse flies swarming me for the whole time (and I was well coated in bug spray). No parking area at the trail head; I parked in a nearby neighborhood cul-de-sac.

Quiet peaceful and very serene trail

Make sure you use bug spray this time of year, horse flies and mosquitoes abound, but also saw a pretty doe through the trees.

Great little hiking area, but only space for one car.

Great for walks in all weathers. Plenty of deer and other wildlife...
