Reviews
"The Sheep Farm North has a diverse habitat including rocky outcroppings, glacial erratics, bluestem meadows, deep forest interior habitat, forest edge habitat, early successional forests, extensive wetlands, seeps, shrub swamps, a string of Tier 1 vernal pools, Class A stream- Fort Hill Brook, and two waterfalls. A portion of the ancient Avalonia Shield on the Sheep Farm North features six high rocky ledges and many smaller ones, ridge lines, south-facing cliffs, and outcroppings. Glacial activity is apparent on the scarred rock faces and in the form of large erratic boulders. Colonial stonewalls and stone heaps still mark the boundaries found on a 1754 deed"
"Beautiful, with well-marked trails for an easy-enough hike."
"We really enjoyed this park! Wasn’t crowded on a weekday early afternoon. Great spaces for kids to roam and climb. We only explored a small portion of the trails to see the waterfall. Not stroller friendly trails. The trail to the waterfall was all downhill but not too steep. It was a little slippery under the fallen leaves since the ground was wet. Beautiful little waterfall. Good place to visit even if not going on the trails, there is plenty to keep kids busy just off the parking lot. Nice picnic tables for a lunch or snack."
"Very well marked and maintained. The markers are highly visible, some with arrows and some trail intersections have signs (for the Waterfall or Road name ahead). Wooden bridges get you over the stream in several spots so you can stay dry. The paths are clear and clean enough to trail run fairly fast. Favorite part: Enjoying the sound of running stream water!"
"Stopped here for a short walk, quiet area, pet friendly, and has some interesting facts about the history of Sheep Farm Park."
