About 120 acres of conservation land too hilly and swampy for development. This area has a military history, and visitors will see various berms used for target practice scattered throughout. Some artifacts remain, as this shooting range was used as recently as World War I. Takes about an hour to walk the main "out-and-back" trail, and it's easy to spend additional time exploring. Parking available for 6 cars; the lot is just a few feet from the rail trail, if you brought a mountain bike.
