Located in Kingston, Hathaway Preserve is a 77 acre property featuring scenic pond views. The 2 mile trail is ideal for hiking and swimming. The access road may not be suitable for all vehicles, so proceed with caution -- but the payoff is a genuinely peaceful stretch of mature pine-oak forest and wetlands, with a good chance of spotting box turtles, herons, and even bobcats. Visitors particularly enjoy this destination during spring wildflowers season. Also explore Sampson Park & Faunce Memorial Forest and Carter Preserve, other trails in Kingston. Try Muddy Pond Wilderness Preserve for a similar trail experience featuring pond.
