Interpretive Trails
We are delighted to share Hildene's Farm and natural areas with you. The walking trails are part of our cross-country ski trail system so on your walk you will see other trails and signs that are not indicated on your map. All trails are easy with some rolling terrain. Trail distances are approximate.
