Trail Description

Parker Preserve Trail entering Pine Knoll

From Keith Hill Road follow Salisbury Road to the entrance for Parker/Salisbury Preserves and the Hassanemessit Woods. A trail winds down an old historic roadway into these preserves. Extending through forest land and interrupted by a clearing for power lines, a series of wide trails may be used for hiking, cross-country skiing and horseback riding. After passing through quiet Parker Preserve pine knoll you will cross the McNamara Brook Tributary and eventually come upon quarry pits and rubble. A crude shelter also offers the hiker a bit of respite near the quarry pits.
