Gone Downhill
Just a heads up: This used to be a great place to hike or walk your dog and view the wildlife. Unfortunately in the last year or so it has become increasingly infested with mountain bikers. ACE have allowed the New England Mountain Biking Association to install an ever increasing patchwork of trails to the extent that now the area is a dense grid of ACE built roads and bike trails and there is no longer much undisturbed woodland left for the local wildlife. So be warned, you're going to have to frequently step aside for groups of bikers; weekend days in summer the parking lot overflows since an hour long pre- and post- ride gear discussion seems to be an essential part of the mountain biking experience; and in winter NEMBA groom every trail and road surface in sight which makes for very hazardous pedestrian conditions when the groomed surface refreezes overnight. A prime demonstration of the Tragedy of the Commons.
