Description
Located in the town of Shelburne, High Ledges contains over 800 acres of northern hardwood forests, wetlands, fields, and ledge outcrops, with spectacular views of the Deerfield River Valley, Mt. Greylock, and even southern Vermont on clear days. The property is also home to many species of birds and wildlife, including black bear, fisher, and bobcat. With its rich cultural history, we can also see remnants of the past in the sanctuary's landscape.

Instructions
Please bring water and wear hiking shoes or sneakers. We will be taking a moderate to difficult 3 mile hike on rocky terrain and we will be gaining some elevation during our walk.
At the junction of Rt 2 and I-91 in Greenfield, continue west on Rt 2 toward Shelburne for 6 miles. Take a right onto Little Mohawk Rd and bear left at the next junction onto Patten Rd. Continuing on Patten Rd, bear left at the next junction and then bear right. The sanctuary entrance is the second left at approximately 0.8 miles. A small parking area is located a few hundred yards down the sanctuary road on the left; an overflow parking area is also on the left, just as you turn onto the sanctuary road.
