      The Hardwick Trails are a system of 6 miles of hiking trails and 5 miles of single track biking trails, winding through mixed woodland habitats.
      Hazen Union School, the Town of Hardwick, the Hardwick Electric Department and Nancy Shepard and Al Cockrell have all generously given permission for us to create this network on their lands.
      Community volunteers and donors provide the muscle and means to care for this recreation jewel that is groomed for winter skiing and mowed for summer use.
