We enjoyed an extremely peaceful walk along Sacred Way Trail. The sounds of this wildlife sanctuary were wonderful. The woodpecker pecking was great to hear. But then my wife met her match when she saw a snake slide across the bridge we were crossing. So we had to retreat and take the crossover trail and head back.

Parking lot small, but place is fairly big. Despite lot being full I didnt see a soul. Have seen beaver, muskrat, coydog (not recently), deer, turkey and many bird species. There have been bear sightings, though I have never encountered any. The Audubon Society asks for a small donation.

Easy hiking and definite opportunities to witness wildlife. Some of the trails could have been a bit more well cared for and they seem to have removed the observation building due to the pandemic. But its definitely worth a visit.

Nice trail network through both woods & fields. Variety of marsh views. Very quiet, only a few people on a July Saturday. Well maintained except for short driveway to parking which has some serious potholes.

We went for a quick hike on our way from Lee to North Adams. it was a nice little wildlife area with some trails. We found a geocache while walking and saw some turtles. The loop trail is short and flat, which is what we were looking for because we didnt have a lot of time.

Beautiful flatland trails with varied choices of paths to take. However be warned its almost all surrounded by marshes and swampy areas, so bring lots of bug repellent and water. That said it really is a gorgeous easy hike with rest benches scattered throughout :-)

If it wasnt so buggy i would have given it 5 stars. We had to walk with our hands over our mouths to keep from breathing in mosquitoes. I was disappointed because it really is a beautiful place, but we were in such a hurry to escape the buzzing and biting that we werent able to enjoy it
