Hobbs Farm Details
Sitting along the South Acton Swamp, the Hobbs Farm Trail is a unique stroll for conservationists and wildlife observers. Totaling only a mile and a half, the route takes guests through what was once a vegetable "truck" farm now in the process of being repurposed into sustainable forest and fields. Today, the land is owned by the Three Rivers Land Trust who, besides allowing visitors to walk the paths, also uses the location to hold events like an annual kite-flying day.
