SaveThe most recent acquisition of open space lands is a combined three parcel purchase named the River Lands. These three adjacent parcels form a continuous piece of land from Stallion Hill Road, across from the entrance to OSV, to Holland Road, just south of the bridge over the Quinebaug River. Except for two small pieces of land, the town now owns the complete river front shoreline along this southerly edge of the Quinebaug River, thus the name, River Lands.
The old Grand Trunk (GT) rail bed traverses this property, making this parcel a key piece for the town in completing the 6 mile distance thru town for this “rail trail”. Back in the 1970’s a Sturbridge resident, Craig Lyman, completed his master’s degree by proposing a “river walk” reclaiming the GT Trail bed for a trail through town. Unfortunately at that time, many did not see the need for such a trail, but for a few residents, that idea never died.
One of the more interesting historical aspects is the “crater hole” up on the hill overlooking the Fiskdale section of Town. This crater hole was actually a hand dug water supply, for fire suppression water for the Fiskdale Mills. The “crater” still exists today. These along with other vestiges of the past use of this property abound along the edges of the old Grand Trunk rail bed.
In 2016, this property was permanently preserved through a Conservation Restriction, and proposed trail plans were approved. Sturbridge Trails Committee will begin work in 2017, and look forward to welcoming visitors to our newest trails system.
