Description
The northwest section of Moose Hill Wildlife Sanctuary leads to the highest point on the property—534 feet above sea level—where thousands of years of glacial history are written in the bedrock. The Summit Trail is short but strenuous, with faint striations carved into the rock by glacier-dragged boulders still visible at the top. The state-owned Fire Tower marks the summit, and while dense forest growth now obscures the surrounding view, the geology underfoot tells the real story.
Moose Hill boasts the longest trail network of any Mass Audubon property, at 20 miles. We'll cover about 3 miles during this program; check out our other Four Corner Treks this fall to explore the full sanctuary and get a complete picture of this special place.
