Nice trails with a mini parking lot.
Great place for pictures year round with multiple trail heads and it's a beautiful drive to get there and walk around.
Very good trails and very beautiful scenery that people who love the outdoors can go out and enjoy. You have different levels of trails to try out from novice to difficult. The scenery is really good at different times of the year. Summer wildflowers, fall foliage and great snow scenes in the winter.
Tons of trails in the area, some lead to amazing views. Most of the trails have a creek near them, and mushrooms are found everywhere in abundance and variety. The parking lot is huge, but there are no restrooms, picnic tables, or names to the trails. This is a great place to go get into nature.
Beaver Brook Watershed Trail was a happy find. From the ample parking lot, follow the service road a short distance through a beautiful meadow, but make a left when you see a small foot trail going into the forest. Keep your eyes open for old homestead ruins and an old Model A Ford rotting where it was abandoned, who-knows-when. A number of lean-tos are in the area where people occasionally camp, and the forest is... simply... stunning. Listen for owls and watch for northern flickers.
