Mt. Ward is one of the many hills here in Marlborough. The trail that passes over and around it follows old cart paths as well as recently constructed trails. The hike covers a change in elevation of 110 vertical feet over 1000 horizontal feet. At the top of the hill is a massive Maple tree. This tree is estimated to be over 100 years old and spreads its branches over a very large area. Thereare all sorts of wildlife that have been spotted here like the white tailed dear and several types of woodpeckers. You can sit on one of the many benches that are located along the trail and relax in the serene surroundings.
In the past two centuries, this area has seen many changes. Once farmland, this parcel has been given over to forest again. The many stone walls that run across this property are evidence of the agricultural history of this area.
