A 32-acre pocket of forest and wetland at West Road and Montgomery Road, saved from a housing subdivision in 2002 by resident-raised funds and renamed in 2020 from "Sampson Conservation Area" to honor the Wyben community. Several certified vernal pools and a stretch of Simmons Creek run through it, with only informal, unmaintained trails.

Common questions
Where do I park, and is it obvious?
There are two informal options: a small lot off West Road that's easy to miss because of dense roadside vegetation, or parallel parking for a couple of cars at a signed trailhead off Montgomery Road.
Are the trails paved or rugged?
Rugged. Wyben Woods was deliberately left without a built trail system, so paths through the forest and wetland are natural and unmarked.
Is there an entry fee at Wyben Woods?
No, entry is free.

What rules should I know at Wyben Woods?
No dumping, hunting, trapping, off-road vehicles, alcohol, camping, vegetation destruction, fires, mountain biking, or horseback riding.
