A roughly 58-acre former town water-supply property between downtown and the Lowell Street corridor, now conservation land used informally for walking. It has no marked trailhead sign, kiosk or parking area documented by the town, so it reads as a quiet, low-infrastructure walk rather than a maintained trail destination.
