Acreage

Description

A former farm, the Morgan Land consists of open fields surrounded by woodlands which are lined with stone walls. The fields and the woodland edge provide excellent bird habitat. The fields are relatively level, the woodland section quite dense.

Trails

The Morgan Land contains one trail which is part of the Two Brothers Trail. The Two Brothers Trail starts at Conant Park, continues at the Morgan Land property entrance here, enters the meadow and proceeds to the Prouty Woods Community Forest. It takes about 20-25 minutes to walk to the shore of Long Lake from the entrance to the Morgan Land. The trail is well marked and has stations for resting and wildlife observation.
