Description

From the Battell/Means parking area, the Trail Around Middlebury (TAM) extends to the south on a well-used trail (the first 1500 feet of which is gravel) through Battell Woods. At the southern end of Battell Woods, you'll drop in elevation onto open farmland once owned by the Sabourin family. Follow the TAM markers past the old Sabourin home and barn and along Route 7, to Boardman Street by G. Stone Motors. From here, you can cross Route 7 (CAREFULLY!) and enter the Murdock Nature Preserve to continue on the TAM.
