Visited The Nature Conservancy's 30 acre Whitbeck Memorial Grove located in the town of New Scotland this afternoon. The trail head is found .7 miles west of the 85/ 85A junction and just beyond the railroad tracks on the left. There is a designated parking area a short distance past the preserve sign and kiosk.
The trail is awash in fallen leaves and is well marked on its way through two woodlots.
The trail crosses a powerline corridor and divides the preserve in two.
A view towards a large lawn at the preserve's boundary.
Came across this old relic.
The trail forms a 1.2 mile loop and is well marked.
The sounds of trains rushing by from the nearby tracks can be heard through the quiet November woods. Overall, a nice spot to stretch your legs for a pleasant woods walk. One side note: Dogs are not allowed at the preserve.
