Map shows Hardy Road Conservation Area trails in green, and Pride Preserve trails in blue.
This is a well-blazed, short walk (under a mile of trails) in woods and fields (a former landfill). It’s pleasant, a gift for people living nearby. Protected and maintained by the Falmouth Land Trust.
The 63 acres of the Hardy preserve is connected to the 188 acres of Pride Preserve in Westbrook, creating a possible ~4.5-mile big loop.
Directions: The preserve is located off Hardy Road about 1/2 mile from Blackstrap Road. You can also park at the bigger lot off Duck Pond Road to access Pride Preserve.
