About Hager Land

See all hotspots at Hager Land

Large and small glacial boulders are readily visible. The land contains a red maple swamp, Guggins Brook, and a drumlin (a ridge composed of glacial drift) named Hager Hill. White pine and hemlock groves provide cover for lady slippers and other delicate flowers. Trees include hickory, cedar, fir, maple, birch, and oak. The main trail loops around Hager Hill and several trails lead to the top. Trail cameras have captured porcupines, deer, red foxes, eastern coyotes, and a bobcat in these woods. The wetlands behind the school host nesting osprey, wood ducks, and hooded mergansers, among other migratory waterfowl that also pass through.
