Description

The Edith Toomey Clark Property passes through the stone walls of bygone farm fields, along the Hop River and a marsh, and past a gorge with a cascading stream in the springtime. The "Triple Tree" on the orange and white trail is a great spot for photos with kids.

Edith "Edie" Toomey Clark was a nurse, veteran, and longtime resident of Bolton with a love of the environment. The property was given by her family to the Bolton Land Trust in her memory.
