This 70-acre property was purchased in 2003 from Beatrice and Clarence Campbell with assistance from a state DEEP grant. It contains woodland areas, open pasture, wet alder shrub lowlands as well as a brook. The lowlands rise steeply about 150 feet to a ridge line of exposed ledge at an elevation of 850 feet above sea level.
The ridge line with several high outcrops offers scenic views of the surrounding valley and hillsides. The marked trails include the yellow loop trail, with a steep climb to an overlook of Shenipsit Lake, the blue loop trail which crosses the brook and meanders along the top of a ridge, and a red trail leading through the bird-filled meadow. Trails connect to the Stoppleworth Conservation Area (white trail) just to the north and the Knofla Conservation Area to the south across Hunter Road.
