Jesse Buell Forest
Description
Jesse Buell Forest is a 115-acre preserve managed by the Clinton Land Conservation Trust. Located off Cream Pot Road, the forest features a network of seven trails totaling approximately 4 miles, offering a mix of easy to moderate hikes with some short, steep sections. The trails wind through diverse habitats, including ridges, ledge outcroppings, wetlands, and a segment along Bass Brook. Visitors can enjoy a variety of flora such as oak, maple, tulip poplar, and mountain laurel, as well as fauna like barred owls, red-tailed hawks, rabbits, and deer. A portion of the trails passes through wetlands and past a vernal pool, providing opportunities to observe amphibians in the spring.
