Map 4 - Maxant
Rating Comments: Millie's Path is wonderful. Packs a lot of beauty for such a small trail. The Bowers Brook is quite beautiful down a deep ravine, surprising given its proximity to Ayer Road. Nice wide path with pretty wooden bridges with benches for sitting. A real undiscovered gem. Loses a star for lack of parking. The trail on the west side of the brook is harder to find in spots (use the .gpx track!), but nicely connects to Stone's field and across to Harvard Park to extend the short walk through a variety of terrain, from deep woods and streams to open fields, to piney woods. Access from Foxglove Apartments. Millie's Path: Easy, Maxant Trail: Moderate/Difficult.
