Jacobs Conservation Area

Spanning 189 acres of town conservation land, the property traces the pond's north and east shores with a three-mile trail network passing historic mill sites. Paddlers can put in at either Duncan Drive or Jacobs Lane, where an ADA-accessible kayak launch sits beside a dedicated fishing area. Anglers also cast from the Cliff Prentiss Bridge, an island within the pond, or along Main Street. During the winter months, activities shift to cross-country skiing, ice boating, and ice fishing.
