More about Allen S. Hurlburt Preserve
From the trailhead off Flag Swamp Road, follow the blazes through the gently rolling wooded hills and past stone walls and pristine wetlands for 0.5 miles until the trail joins the main trail along the high rim of the Tierney Preserve, for an additional 1.8-mile trail loop of moderate difficulty with steep climbs. Sturdy shoes are recommended.
Sarah Hurlburt Houck donated the 25-acre preserve in 2004 in memory of her father, Allen S. Hurlburt, who was the First Selectman of Roxbury for nearly 30 years.
