Description

The Rice Preserve is a 15-acre parcel that features steep glacial eskers, seep wetlands, and beautiful cascading waterfalls.  

 The half-mile Two Brook Trail crosses Scataquog Brook, which flows north into Cold Brook. The trail then loops, runing upstream along Cold Brook to the beautiful Senter Falls, and then up steeper slopes.
