Fork Factory Brook’s trails run over an unexpected diversity of landscapes, from wetlands to fields of the former Long Acre Farm, and even to the remains of the successful 19th-century pitchfork mill that gave the reservation its name. Part of a much larger original farm holding, the fields of Long Acre Farm have been cultivated for at least 300 years. Throughout the 18th century, it was a classic self-sufficient farming operation that pastured livestock, grew crops and harvested hay.

Follow a network of trails through wetland, hayfields, and wooded upland to discover views and the foundations of a historic mill. Explore this bucolic landscape along a mile and a half of easy hiking trails.
