Description

The town-owned Winnick Woods includes extensive woodlands, wetlands, a pond, and a meadow. Grades on the trails can be steep. Many bridges and boardwalks have been constructed. A large portion of these trails were recently machine-built primarily for mountain biking use and are a favorite destination for local mountain bikers.

The trail network includes the Cross Hill Trails, on land owned by the town and protected by an easement held by CELT. The Cross Hill Trails offer additional access to the network, including off of Wells Road, Cross Hill Road, and at the end of Hawthorne Road.
