Shumway Forest includes headwater tributaries of Mink Brook and a variety of other types of wetlands, including a fen, vernal pool, and black ash and red spruce swamps. The trails in this forest are at the center of a mountainside trail network that includes not only the Appalachian Trail, as it travels from Three Mile Road to the South Peak of Moose Mountain, but a dozen other foot trails, linking the AT with others on the mountain and beyond.
