Along 4 The Hike: Beaver Meadow Nature Preserve
The trails are very well marked, and you can get some nice views from both sides of Beaver Pond. If you're hoping to see the preserve's namesake beavers, it is possible, although they do tend to be nocturnal creatures. One more note: dogs are not welcome here because of the numerous other animals who call the preserve home.
