Stewart/Person Preserve

Moderate Dog friendly Parking available Scenic views

Located in Kingston, Stewart/Person Preserve is a 27 acre property featuring scenic pond views. This trail system is perfect for hiking. The dam that holds the pond in place is slated for eventual removal after a 14-year planning process, which will meaningfully improve fish passage in the Jones River watershed once the final funding piece is in place -- worth keeping an eye on if you visit regularly. 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.
