Difficulty: Easy

Round-trip Distance: 3.00 miles

Trail Markings: None

Major trails are former roads (E. Monson Road and W. Monson Road), so they are quite wide. Except when snow-covered, trails are easy to see and well-used. There are several narrow trails off-shooting from the main trails, but each meets up with one of the main trails, and it's easy to circle back to the center of Monson.

Parking Lot

Parking for a few cars is provided on Adams Rd. in front of the gate. A kiosk is located a few hundred yards down the road into the property, where the forest opens up to fields. Trail maps are available in a receptacle on the outside of the “Gould House”.
