This 105-acre preserve, which includes a meadow, forest with old trees, and the origin place of the Black Brook, is protected by the Presumpscot Regional Land Trust. The trail system allows you to do loops of varying size, and there are many benches placed along the way. In all, there’s about 3 miles of trails, with some short ups and downs. The land trust has built bog bridges over wetter sections of the forest.
I recommend the Diamond Trail — it is a bit wider and flatter than some of the other trails, and brings you by an erratic and over a stream. When you get to the meadow, you can walk along mown trails around the perimeter or criss-cross the field, depending on where the cut lines are.
Directions: For the trailhead off Windham Center Road — Follow Route 202/4 for just under one mile after leaving the traffic circle to the intersection with Windham Center Road. Turn left (east) onto Windham Center Road and continue another .3 miles to the gravel parking area and trailhead on the left.
