Old cart paths and woods roads reveal the farming and logging past of this sloping woodland that rises between the energetic college community of Amherst and the broad Connecticut River in the historic village of North Hadley. Admired and appreciated by locals and visitors alike, Mount Warner stands amid a 500-acre swath of protected land linking nearby Lake Warner to a range of conservation treasures.

Begin your visit by ascending through oak, beech, and other hardwoods, examining their trunks for the nesting cavities of birds and small mammals. Evergreen groves begin further upslope. Along the way, you’ll discover vernal pools that shelter and nurture an array of animal and plant species. Come spring, look and listen for frogs and salamanders that emerge to reproduce in these seasonal wetlands.
