Disappointed

After reading and hearing such good things about this place husband and I were excited to visit. Place was so run down. Pond looked like a swamp. Signs for a Vernon pool?! There was none. Mystery tree?! Would love to see trees when they are...More

Hoping for Something Better!

After reading the online description of this sanctuary, hubby & I were anticipating a really special place. As soon as we found it and parked, the place seemed run down. Like in a previous reviewer, perhaps being off-season and no upkeep, the sanctuary is massively...More

Winter visit to Ashumet Holly and Wildlife Sanctuary

Although all the vegetation is dormant and no sign of animal activity this time of year, taking our first walk through the sanctuary was a nice relaxing experience. Trails are in good shape and well marked. We look forward to returning to see it in...More

Seen it's day

Maybe it's off-season for Holly, and to be honest we didn't try to walk the entire Sanctuary, but pretty much all we saw was an awful lot of those terrible thorn bushes and some vine that was overtaking everything. On the plus side, the berries...More

Lots of holly trees!

My husband and I spent an hour walking the trails here in early April. There are so many cool holly trees, which we don't see too often. Very peaceful spot.

A Peaceful Sanctuary

My wife and I hiked the trails in this sanctuary. We were alone on the day we explored the place. Just being away from the noise of town would have been enough, but walking the trails along the large pond and through the woods full...More

Wonderful stroll

If you want a big-time strenuous hike, this isn't it. But if you enjoy leisurely strolls and easy trails, this is a great peaceful place to be. The trails provide opportunities to occasionally stop, sit, and enjoy the view. We visited on a late summer...More

Hiking Trails

Sweet spot for meandering through woods, around a pond, down lanes, and through a Holly Forrest, with spring flowers in bloom.

We'd love to come back when the rhododendrums are blooming!

Great wide trails, we really enjoyed the foliage. I can imagine when the rhododendrums are blooming, it must be just beautiful. Even in March, we saw some crocuses poking their heads out!
