There are about five miles of loop trails rated easy to moderate, crossing old pastures, woods, and a boulder field, with a shorter 1.5-mile loop through white pines near the northwest border.
Can I bring my dog off leash?
Yes, as long as the dog stays under voice control the whole time and you clean up after it.
Is hunting season a concern here?
Yes. Hunting is allowed in season except on Sundays, so hikers are told to wear blaze orange during that stretch.

Park near the historic barn at the Chapin Street entrance; there's a kiosk and trail map at the trailhead.
Is there an entry fee at Cormier Woods?
No, entry is free.
