This is one of many properties owned by the
Essex County Greenbelt Association. The web site gives a good description, and you can download a trail map. The property is south of the Ipswich River, west of the RR tracks, and north of Waldingfield Road. It is nice for a few hours in the forest, and of interest to equestrians and river watchers.
The hours are not listed, but I would guess they are from sunrise to sunset.
