Happy Farm River Trail starts at the Recycling Center behind the Town Office off Townhouse Road, crosses several hay fields, and then cuts down through mixed woods to the Sheepscot River. Along the river, you can see evidence of beaver and spot a Belted Kingfisher, a Pileated Woodpecker, or even a Bald Eagle if you are lucky.

The trail runs along a section of the river that contains spawning and nursery habitat for Atlantic salmon as designated by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The woods are home to small mammals, deer, and an abundance of songbirds, as well as mosses, lichens, and ferns. The Happy Farm River Trail is approximately a 2-mile out-and-back trip with some gentle ups and downs. It is well suited to walking, snowshoeing, or cross-country skiing. There are two benches along the Sheepscot River which make nice picnic stops.
