Collaboratively established by the Avon Land Trust and the Town of Avon, the trails feature diverse terrains suitable for hiking, and nature walks, showcasing the region’s natural beauty and biodiversity. One of the town’sfounders, Amasa Woodford, owned this land in the early 19th century. The Garvin and Maher trails are on land that was once pasture land for cows. On the Garvin trail loop, visit Monument Rocks, known as “Tinkers Midden” to see discarded cookware and other artifacts.
