Jeff Smith Trail

From Jewett St. in Pepperell to Rocky Pond Rd. in Hollis, NH

If you're looking for a long and beautiful hike, try the Jeff Smith Trail.  It begins at the Blood Brook Ravine on Jewett St., passes through several of Pepperells's nicest protected lands - Heald Pond, Gulf Brook Ravine, Gulf Brook, Stewart Brook, the Nashoba Conservation Trust's Day Parcel, and the Bemis Land - to Beaver Book Association land in Hollis, NH. A wide variety of wildlife, woods, streams, ponds, and wetlands are on this trail, as well as two former mill sites. The entire trail is about 4 miles in length one way.

Follow the blue dots (and yellow triangles from Blood Brook to Gulf Brook Ravine) starting at Blood Ravine on Jewett St. (0.3 miles from Townsend St., look for the sign across from a large wetland) or at the Gulf Brook Ravine across from Heald Pond. Parking on the side of the road.
