Lawrence Swamp Conservation area contains acres of forest and wetlands adjacent to the Norwottuck Rail Trail, which gives easy access to this area. Most of the wetlands do not have trails to help protect the plants and animals that live there, but there are some trails in the northwest corner of the Conservation Area and the Robert Frost Trail runs north to south connecting it to other trails and places. This is a great place to hike and explore with the whole family for it is relatively flat and the trails are well-marked. Here is a link to a great trail map with more information about Lawrence Swamp from the Kestrel Land Trust: kestreltrust.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/KLT-Trails-8-Lawrence-Swamp-v1.pdf
