Beautiful water views. Perfect walking area for a dog.
Awesome 5+ mile loop! I have done Weir Hill countless times and recently tried Osgood Hill so today I put them together for my Philmont Prep Hike carrying 34 lbs. Pay attention when you leave the Weir Hill trail to Osgood Hill trail. There are no trail markings. Just follow the beaten down path along the lake until you pick up the trail markers at least 1/2 mile later. There are trail improvements so you know you are in a designated trail but no markers for a while. Decent elevation plus I love the 2 chair pasture setting that overlooks Lake Cochichewick.
Great quick hike beautiful waterfall. There was a dusting of snow there today
Beautiful
Jesse E. on Tannery Falls Trail
Both roads to this trail are either closed or not maintained in the winter(Dec-May). Beware. I plan to go back in the spring time when the road looks better.
Good hiking or biking area,connected large and small loops.
Have been here a few times. Always a great walk/hike. My dog loves it too!
The trail and surrounding woods was free of brush. Very enjoyable walk, fantastic older trees and rolling hills Highly recommended. As others have noted bring your GPS as the trail at times isn’t well marked
awsome place
Nice range of inclines. Roller coaster hills make it “uphill both ways”. You can make this trail a really rigorous hike or at a slow pace still gives a good legs (and heart) workout. Nice range of pine and deciduous, and vistas. Now if they could just relocate Logan airport (flight noise) and Rte 128 it would be perfect.
Surprisingly good views from the summit. Wasn’t expecting much, but this place is actually pretty cool. I recommend.
Well, five stars because I can walk to this trail from my house. However it is also a nice mix of forest lake and field, and none of the terrain is difficult. There are also a few access points to this loop
Beautiful even during winter!
love this trail. lots to see. might bump into people on horses which is nice. always fun hiking there.
very scenic and nice easy walk
s w. on Rocky Pond and Brook Road Loop
great hike in early winter
Greg R. on North Hill Marsh Trail
Decent afternoon walk in early January. Fewer ticks in winter
nice long flat easy walking very Scenic especially once you start getting close to Dana Center with the foundations the Commons and the photos of what was once... if you travel to the water which is 2 more miles to make it four miles or so to the water be sure to go out 40 - 5 and look for the crashed fighter plane... Indians kitchen..
Steve P. on Red Fox Trail Loop
The small waterfall was a nice suprise. There was some elevation which made for a good workout but the trail was poorly marked which caused for a lot of stopping to confirm the proper direction.
Beautiful lake
Needs better trail markings but it is beautiful and has more challenge than most trails around the area. We loved it.
This trail is beautiful, dog-friendly and great if you're limited on time. It's well maintained and has an abandoned garden with an interesting history at the top of the hill. My only warning is that during certain parts of the year, the swarms of mosquitoes are BAD here. This is coming from someone who grew up in the South where mosquitoes are pretty typical.
Rugged challenging traverse, akin to some trails you might find in the Whites
Used to be a great place...Now it's gone to the Dogs and their owners who not only leave blue bags of Dog Shit all around the woods , in the pond , in Trees hanging from branches...But there own trash !!! its a total shame...It used to be a great place....
Great dirt road, enough elevation change to make it aerobic and long enough to be fun. Lots of friendly people and dogs. Make sure you take a few of the side trails. Mammoth Rock is very interesting and Dean Pond is beautiful.
Great views, trails can get muddy, but it’s a great local hike and worth it.
Amazing trail!! So many options with various difficulties and views.
nice hiking trail
Great for an amble through the woods. Lots of trails and open space, great for dogs. Easy to navigate, clear trails.
Always a good hike. One of my favorites in the area.
