Ward Parcel in the Winter

This short hike is best done with snowshoes unless the trail is packed.  Many winter hikes have limited parking, but you can park behind the Town Hall for this one.  The loop is through a wooded area with a variety of hardwoods and softwoods, many animal tracks, and a brook that runs all year.  There are also a couple of hunting perches.  The trail has metal markers on trees, but you can lose track of them.  You are mostly within earshot of route 113 so if you get turned around, you can hear your way out.
