Welcome to Holts Grove!!
This trail, located next to the Marlborough High School, loops through a predominantly deciduous forest of oak with red maple in the wetter areas.  The stream from the pond eventually runs into Fort Meadow Reservoir.  The pond and its surrounding vegetation are full of life!  Many aquatic insects and other invertebrates can be found in the pond as well as several species of frog.  We hope that you will explore the pond and stream systems as well as the woodland area’s variety of microhabitats.

Rules, Regulations and Information
Conservation lands are open from dawn to dusk

Prohibited Activities: hunting, motorized vehicles, fires, littering, cutting or removing of trees or plants, camping and swimming

Directions
Trails can be accessed by foot from the Marlborough High School parking lot by a boardwalk leading into the woods away from the school.  The trails can also be accessed by foot from several points along Stevens Street past the High School on the left.  There is limited access for winter skating on the pond through the chained entrance on Stevens Street (directly across from Andrews Road).
