Opacum Woods

Opacum Woods is a permanently protected conservation area owned and stewarded by the Opacum Land Trust. There are about four miles of hiking trails on this 266-acre property, clearly marked with Blue, Red, Yellow and Green blazes. The walking trails at Opacum Woods traverse a variety of habitats as well as some interesting historical features. Please view our trail map and enjoy a hike at Opacum Woods.

Opacum Woods was donated to Opacum Land Trust in June of 2003 by Robert Moss & Brendon Properties. It contains acres of forested land including woodland ponds, swamps, vernal pools, historic and prehistoric sites, and habitat for some rare and some not-so-rare species. It is a true gem and a recreational asset for the community.

In recent years, beavers have been very active in the area, making the trail access unpredictable as bridges are sometimes under water. Please be cautious.
