Holbrook Town Forest

The 115 acre Holbrook Town Forest is located in Northeastern Holbrook, MA. It was founded in 1955 on undeveloped land. There are several trails, winding around the glacial rock outcroppings and forested wetlands; it is a pristine place to hike, or snowshoe. Enter either from the end of Forest Dr. or at 255 Pine St. Maps available at the Conservation Office at Town Hall. This site is maintained by the “Friends of Holbrook Town Forest”, a group dedicated to the preservation of this local treasure.

(Click on picture to see detail)

A map from 1949 shows the area where the Holbrook Town Forest and Cranberry Brook ACEC . Note the "Fire Tower" which was dismantled in June 2006 on request of the building Inspector. http://ledger.southofboston.com/articles/2006/06/20/news/news06.txt

Although unmanned for the previous few years, the Turkey Hill Fire Tower provided a vital link in the protection of a large part of Massachusetts, and of course, our own Town Forest!
