(January 6, 2019, 11:42 am)Quiet hiking with tall pines and beech trees. The train has a lot of roots that would be a challenge for some strollers or non-surefooted people. Overall nice for the peaceful walk.
(July 26, 2018, 10:47 am)Very nice trail network here; you can really wander. Some trails can definitely be wet/muddy/impassible and it's always frustrating that you can't take the Blue trail from Hartwell all the way through to South Rd near FamCamp. I like the connection to the Jordan Gardens and also how you can ramble all the way to the Hanscom fence. But... watch out for ticks.

(January 13, 2018, 6:00 pm)Very pleasant pine forest with wide foot and off road bike trails winding through. Nice place for a picnic with a couple of benches scattered around. Great for little kids, since it is level. Not easy for handicapped due to large roots across trails.
A trail connects to the Minutemen Bikeway. For the adventurous, a wet and overgrown trail crosses Hartwell Brook on a half-sunken little bridge to connect over to the campground near Hanscom Airfield.
