Hamlen Woods and Mainstone Farm highlight a complex of conserved lands owned by the Town of Wayland, Sudbury Valley Trustees (SVT), and other private entities. Additional protected lands, including Mainstone Hills, Reeves Hill, and Turkey Hill, contribute to a network of wildlife habitats and public trails.

Hamlen Woods encompasses an upland forest and an old reservoir with beaver activity. The adjacent Mainstone Farm CR is a sweeping 218-acre landscape that includes agricultural fields and woodland. An extensive trail system links these lands that are protected and cooperatively managed by SVT and the Town of Wayland.

The trails are marked with colored diamond-shaped signs, indicated by the corresponding colored lines on the map. The blue trail will lead you from the Hamlen Woods parking area, north to Reeves Hill Conservation Land, over a one-way route of approximately 1.75 miles. The red trail will take you on an approximately 4.5-mile circuit through all of the connected areas.

The AllTrails website has a description and map of a hike at Hamlen Reservation.
