A 1,040-acre state wildlife area shared by Ashburnham, Gardner, and Westminster, mixing old farm fields, rolling forest, and beaver wetlands. Grassy fields and scattered apple trees mark where the land was once a working farm. All three formal parking access points are in Gardner and Westminster, not on the Ashburnham side.
