Furnace Brook Watershed Conservation Area

Moderate Parking available Scenic views

Marshfield's first major conservation acquisition is also one of its least-known. Furnace Brook runs through these 287 forested acres, tucked between Forest, Pine, School, and Main Streets, with trailheads on each of those roads and a network of walking paths inside, though there is no official parking area to speak of.
