Preserve Profile
MINUTES FROM TOWN, A WORLD AWAY: Visit the breathtaking Mill Brook and the 44’ Hemlock bridge that spans it. Visit for just a moment or half the day, and feel transported either way. Hidden in a steep valley filled with might white pines and spruce trees, the Preserve protects a long stretch of the Mill Brook. The trail currently dead ends after 0.5 mile but we hope to expand it in 2023. NO PARKING AVAILABLE ON PRESERVE. Park in town and walk 0.25 miles to Preserve entrance.
Look for
Brook trout, warbles and riparian bird species, the impact of the river on the surrounding landscape.

Walk up Pike Ave and Mount Ephraim Road ¼ mile to the preserve entrance on the left by a fire hydrant. Walk in this grassy entrance onto the Preserve trail. Parking lot coming 2023.
