About Road’s End
Once a farmstead that was selectively lumbered and cleared for agricultural purposes, Road's End proves that the land can return to its natural state if given the chance. A white pine forest now stands in an old field and pastures have become beaver meadows.
Two gentle loop trails through the fields, forests, and along a brook quickly transport to you the "middle of nowhere."
