The Stimpson Family Nature Reserve contains two trails: a main loop of 2.9 miles, and the Geneva Pond trail, which is a 1.2 mile lollipop trail that starts about .4 miles from the main trailhead. Trail signs imply a clockwise direction but you can go either way. The trail is a well-defined singletrack that generally consists of rolling climbs and descents, but (assuming CW) it has a sustained climb for about a mile after the Geneva Pond turnoff. This is an excellent hiking or trail running trail that is often dry when Galbraith is still muddy.
Access Info
