Carolyn Orr Loop

The Carolyn Orr Conservation Land begins behind the Atkinson Community Center or at the end of Robie Lane and offers a short network of gentle woodland trails through protected forest. This easy route meanders across relatively flat terrain, crossing over Bryant Brook and circling around small ponds and wetland areas like 2nd Pond and Bryant Marsh. Trail junctions are clearly marked, and most paths connect in short loops, making it simple to navigate. This area is well-suited for beginner hikers, families, and birdwatchers looking for a low-effort walk with opportunities to observe local wildlife. Dogs are allowed on leash, and the route is open year-round for walking and nature observation. The combination of easy trails and diverse wetland scenery makes this a peaceful destination for short outings close to town.
