Both trails take in spectacular views of the forested slopes of Tully Mountain, Mount Grace, and the Berkshire Hills. Below is Long Pond and the East Branch of the Tully River, which winds slowly toward Tully Lake. Further south along the trail, a stream tumbles over the ridgeline, creating the dramatic Spirit Falls. At the eastern edge of the Reservation lies the source of Spirit Falls: Little Pond, a classic northern bog, whose concentric rings of black spruce and tamarack surround open water and a mat of sphagnum moss. |
| | Trails | | 2 miles of trails and old logging roads. Moderage hiking, strenuous in places. The Reservation is a link in the Tully Trail. |
