| Simmons Mill Pond Management Area is a coastal maritime oak-holly forest, a rare habitat that only grows in the right conditions in southern New England. This unusual forest is home to a rather unusual mammal: the Southern flying squirrel, a fascinating little mammal that glides from tree to tree on the skin between its wrists and ankles. | |
| The trails at Simmons Mill Pond Management Area are primarily grassy old cart tracks, and make for easy walking. Maps at each trail crossroad help you to keep your bearings as you walk, and hand-lettered signs at the start of each new trail will give the approximate time it takes to walk them. These cart paths form two large loops, the Farmsite Loop and the Amy Hart Loop. Both parking areas connect to the Farmsite Loop -- which provides the best views of the ponds and the remains of the farm that once stood on this property. The Amy Hart Loop can be accessed from the northeastern corner of the Farmsite Loop. This trail is about a mile long, and will take you deeper into the woods. | |
