Trails and Hiking

In 2004 an extensive trail network was opened to the public on Gibbet Hill Farm. Guests and hikers can park their cars at Gibbet Hill Grill; please do not park in front of the trails or on Route 40. There is access to the trails from the restaurant itself. For a map of the trails, please click here. We invite everyone to come early or stay late and walk along the trails throughout the farm. The trails take you to the top of Gibbet Hill where you can see the stunning views of the town of Groton and the surrounding areas including Mt. Wachusett, Mt. Watatic, and Mt. Monadnock. The cows will be grazing nearby, but don’t worry – they’re not man-eating cows.

NOTE: Please be aware that these trails wander through a working farm. Although they are fenced off and separate from the cattle, they still are on terrain that can be uneven and slightly muddy. These are not paved trails. Also please note that Gibbet Hill uses electrical fencing on its Farm.  Please do not touch any fences during your visit.
