Thursday Treks – Rice Nature Preserve

Jun 6, 2013 | Parenting |

Rice Nature Preserve

In honor of our old house, I decided to write about the Rice Nature Preserve. (Also because we didn’t hike this weekend because of the move!)

Our old house was on a dead-end street.  At the end of the street was the entrance to the Rice Nature Preserve, in Wilbraham, MA.  The preserve is town-owned conservation land and includes a 100-year old peach orchard (the Rice family maintains rights to the orchard).

The preserve has 7 different trails.  We hiked the Rachael Phelps Trail a handful of times with the kids.  It is about a mile long and ends in an orchard that has views down into the Connecticut River Valley.

We have plans to hike the full-length to the top of Sunrise Peak, but haven’t made it that far yet.

Interestingly, our new property abuts the Sunrise Peak trail at the other end, so we have a new way of going there!
