A 55-acre state wildlife tract on the southern flank of Tekoa Mountain, reached from a small pull-off on Reservoir Road near the Westfield line. The loop trail passes a waterfall on its northern leg and turns into a steep rock scramble on its southern ascent, so it reads as a real hike rather than a casual sanctuary walk.
