Nelson Preserve Details
A 1.1-mile loop trail that is easy and welcoming to all ages, the Nelson Preserve is not particularly notable but for its peaceful seclusion. Set aside for conservation only a couple of years ago, the preserve is an easy walk with a variety of habitats for visitors to explore. From meadows to hemlock groves, the most notable features along the pathway are the massive red oaks standing tall like sentinels, watching over the fields.
