The Trustees' Dry Hill Reservation provides hikers with an opportunity to experience a variety of natural environments, including streams, vernal pools, and swamps. Higher up in elevation, a dry, acidic oak forest covers the top of the hill. From the hilltop, amazing views are provided looking southwest through New Marlborough and Sheffield. In June, Mountain Laurel blooms along much of the trail, adding to the beauty of the reservation.
Parking is available in a large lot on Harmon Road.
