Low Plain Trails

The trails in the Esther Currier Wildlife Management Area at Low Plain may be accessed from the parking area (P) off Route 11 or from a parking area (P) on Mountain Road. A brochure with trail map is available at the Route 11 entrance. The main trail is named the Davis Path. It is a gated gravel road that runs between Route 11 and Mountain Road. Side trails go to an overlook and to observation blinds along the edge of Beaver Pond. A quaking bog may be viewed from a boardwalk on the trail to the Marsh Point blind (not passable at high water). A high water detour is also available for the Davis Path. A geological exhibit (boulder collection) and a salamander pool are visible from the Davis Path. The Davis Path is 1.1 miles in length (one way). A half mile loop trail to Shepard Spring is also shown across Mountain Road from the Davis Path. Parking is available along Mountain Road. The trail is only marked for a clockwise trip around the loop.

The natural history of this area is also described on this website.
