Crawford Forest

Visitors to the Crawford property enter along the Wall Trail, which is named after the historic, stone fence that lines the property. The trail winds deep into a tranquil forest that makes you feel like you are in a truly remote place. If you ramble off the trail toward the wetlands, you may catch a glimpse of a moose or beaver. Massive moss and fern covered boulders reflect the geological history of the area and animal tracks remind hikers that they are not alone in the woods. There are two Class II wetlands located on the property in the conservation areas. One wetland contains a beaver complex. The property varies in topography and elevation, ranging from 680-980 feet. The forest is mixed, containing northern hardwoods and softwoods. There are a few old logging trails and stone fences throughout the property.
