Overview
Immerse yourself in nature with a trail walk of the Feldmans Cutthroat Brook Gnome Trail.
Join other women veterans as we search for gnome statues and enjoy our surroundings. Feel free to bring a gnome to leave on the trail!
Family are welcome as well as leashed dogs.
About the trail from the Cutthroat Brook Tree Farm's website:
Mount Grace worked with Susie and Ben to create the 1.6-mile Forest Learning Loop, where you can learn about the trees and natural features around you. The trail is relatively flat and can be easily shortened by following signs that read “shorter way back” that return you to the parking lot.
Gnomes of all sizes peek out from their hiding places along the trail, and informational signs are posted throughout giving you tidbits of information on tree species and landscape features. The Learning Loop will also cross over Cutthroat Brook – a perfect place to stop and listen as the brook flows across the forest floor. At one point on this trail, you’ll also encounter the Tri-Town Marker where you could physically be in Athol, Phillipston, and Petersham all at the same time
