Quiet, scenic, and not too difficult to walk/hike

Beautiful trails. The loop around the ponds is gorgeous, but can be muddy or flooded in several spots. Parking is limited and tends to fill up on nice weekend days.

Beautiful, well marked and easy trails

Beautiful and varied area to go for a walk or easy to moderate hike. We take our two young kids and dogs here all the time. As a warning, cell phone coverage is spotty at times, so either take a paper map or a screenshot/photo of the trails prior to getting too far in. The trails are easy to follow, but crisscross in a few areas and it can be easy to accidentally pop onto the wrong trail. The lake is a great landmark to stay oriented, and just a slow amble around that body of water is very pleasant. One shore is a bit rugged from tree falls from recent storms, so be prepared to climb over fallen trees or step over some muddy areas if you plan on doing the full loop around.

Questions & Answers

We are curious as to the private trails in Hamlen Woods and are wondering about the history. Also, were the stone walls part of someone's private property in the past?
