Hoyt-Hall Preserve
ADA: No
Free
Hoyt-Hall Preserve featuring scenic pond views. This trail system is perfect for hiking. The narrow pathway that cuts across Long Tom Pond is pretty unique but the coolest part is the historic cistern along the ponds edge. The trail is essentially one big loop with some potential offshoots including one to the Issac Winslow House through a Red Maple Swamp. About half of the trail is very even and level, making it very suitable for strollers, kids, and the like. Interesting features to call out. Try Whiton Woods and Cedar Crest for a similar trail experience featuring pond.
