Maxwell Farms Trails
Length:2.5 miles of trails
Maxwell Farms Regional Park is basically divided into
two distinct areas: the "front country" area containing recreation
infrastructure such as playing fields, picnic facilities, playgrounds, etc. in
contrast to the "backcountry area" comprised of 2.5 miles of trails across 40
acres of open space. The trails in the section of the park are virtually level
offering easy strolls through corridors of mature bay trees and across remnants
of historic orchards.
