The 175-acre Hudson Farm is now protected forever as a part of the Appalachian Trail corridor, with the March 21, 2017 transfer from Dartmouth College to the National Park Service. The Etna property, which could have become a development of 18 homes, has a well-loved network of trails connecting the AT with Berrill Farms and Etna’s “bird road” neighborhoods.  The beautiful fields will be kept open for bobolinks and views. This was the first addition to the Appalachian National Scenic Trail in Hanover in more than 15 years.

Parking is available at a new trailhead and kiosk on Trescott Road, directly across from Partridge Lane, or at the Appalachian Trail parking area on Trescott Road.
