Map 24 - Williams
Rating Comments: This is a very pretty site that begins at a small, but very beautiful pond where there is a small parking area. The loop is a moderate length with the option of veering off a secondary trail that passes through an old field leading to Murray Lane. Walking along Murray Lane is a joy being a short dead end with only a few homes. Across from there the trail joins Murray Lane is an easement over private property that leads to the large Burgess-Brown/Great Elms trail complex, giving you the option to cover a lot of ground. The loop trail also has a spur that leads into the complex of fields that are hayed in the summer after the ground-nesting birds have fledged. This collection of fields is another opportunity to extend your walk seasonally. The very prominent drumlin visible from Stow Road is a favorite place for sledding in winter. Easy-Moderate.
