Description

Bradley-Buchanan Woods is part of the larger Echo Pond Area, which includes Echo Woods, Echo Lake, and Pond Lot. Hugh and Betsey Hamill donated the adjacent 10-acre Pond Lot parcel in 1986, which borders the lower end of Echo Lake. The Pond Lot parcel contains very interesting geology, with kettle holes, a peat bog, and unusual flora and fauna.
