Description

The Lo Flo Trail (1.8 miles) begins at the main entrance off Joppa Hill Road. This 1.8-mile trail, marked with blue diamonds, meanders through the eastern portion of the property, passing through several different forest habitats. The trail is mostly rolling hills scattered with mountain laurel.

The Holbrook Hill Trail (2.1 miles) can be accessed from the Lo Flo Trail or off Back Mountain Road in Goffstown. The trail, marked with orange diamonds, is comprised of numerous switchbacks that summit Holbrook Hill at 840 feet, the highest point in Bedford.

Other Information

The wildlife sanctuary was created in 1993 by lifelong Bedford resident Florence Tarr through her estate, and was managed by a trust established by Ms. Tarr until 2017, when PLC took ownership of this 332-acre property.
