Self-Guided Hikes
Our Preserves and Open Space offer a variety of hikes through different habitats. We chose a few trails suitable for everyone. You can download or print the hike descriptions, each one contains GPS coordinates of the starting point and a map. Please remember to use the trails responsibly and that conditions can change rapidly. Hikers should be properly equipped and have safety and navigational skills.
