Chapman’s Landing and Iron Mine Brook Trails

Easy Parking available Scenic views Boat launch

Chapman's Landing was once the westernmost shipping point in the North River system, where the steamship Mattakeesett once delivered iron ingots for Hanover's forges. Today it is a lovely 50-acre woodland and wetland property with gorgeous views of the Indian Head River, and interpretive signs on site touch on the history of the Mattakeeset themselves. Along the two miles of intersecting trails here, you will find several beautiful views of the river, two crossings of Iron Mine Brook, and a curious pile of stones with historic origins.
