Broadturn Farm, Scarborough

QUICK TRAIL FACTS

  • Preserve Size: 434 acres
  • Trail Mileage: 1 mile in network
  • Pets: yes
  • Difficulty: easy
  • Sights: Farm, Silver Brook

This is a short, wooded walk on Broadturn Farm that includes some nice spots along the pretty Silver Brook. The farm, which is on land protected by the Scarborough Land Trust, also looks like a good place to visit!

When I revisited the preserve in early 2024, the land trust appeared to be in the process of building a new parking area off Hanson Road, and had completed a nice trail — and beautiful little bridge — linking it to the loop.

Directions: From Route One, take Pine Point Road (Route 9) west, away from the ocean. Follow it for 4.5 miles or so to Hanson Road on the left. Turn left and then left again at the public entrance to the farm. Drive down to roundabout and park on the circle. The trailhead is a bit beyond the circle.

  1. We took the Silver Brook trail a few weeks ago and really enjoyed it! The falls were impressive and it was nice to walk along the brook.

Let me know if you have any trail updates or corrections!
