Phillips Sanctuary and Firehouse Loop

Easy Parking available Scenic views

Phillips Sanctuary and Firehouse Loop offers a beautiful 55-acre glimpse of Hanover's earlier days, back when there were fewer houses and a lot more trees. A 1.6-mile network of loop and spur trails winds through the forest here, with plenty of opportunities for wildlife observation along the way, and access from both Alden Road and the Fire Station Museum on Broadway.
