DNRT Howland Reserve

Description :

This upland pine and oak forest has a small, lovely trail system winding among the stone walls and woods. Its sparse shrub layer gives visitors extended views through the trees and makes a wonderful all-season birding destination. It also has frontage on Cornell Pond. Directions : Two trailheads marked by DNRT signs are located on the east side of North Hixville Road, one at 1,000 feet and one at 1,500 feet north of Old Fall River Road. The best place to park in on the west side of North Hixville Road, across from the gas easement. Carefully walk across the road, then 100 yards east along the easement. You will then find a trail to the south leading into the woods.
