This is a wonderful little trail only about 10 minutes from my work. I love to zip over for lunch when I feel the need to get out into the woods. As a history major, this trail and it’s history of the sleeping Indians fascinates.
Thanks to the Littleton, MA conservationists who steward this trail. For more trails in the Littleton area check out their trail guide. https://littletonconservationtrust.org/Trail_Guide.pdf
This trail network has easily accessible parking and is a relatively easy hike through the woods. Just a bit off Rte119 in Littleton, on the back side of the Nagog reservoir. If you have time afterward there are a couple of great pubs across 119 in the shopping center.
Looking forward to exploring this trail further after the ice melts.
The apple orchard is across the fence 
One can see the back side of the resevoir and Rte. 119 from the parking lot. 
Trails are clearly marked and an easy hike even in slightly icy conditions. 
The Vernal pools are beautiful and I am sure in warmer weather they are teeming with life. 
I always love rocks and when I find one with a story it is even more appreciated.
