The Frank Knowles-Little River Reserve is a section of a 500-acre block of preserved lands surrounding the headwaters of the Little River, located along five parcels of land donated to the Dartmouth Natural Reserve Trust between 1996 and 2010. Nine miles of lovely hiking trails are showcased throughout the reserve, which wind through fern-covered wetland areas, beech glades, salt marsh expanses, and spacious wildflower fields. A wide variety of native bird species can be observed from sites such as the Boardwalk Trail, which features three segments of lovely boardwalk overlooking a red maple swamp. Historic homestead remains are also showcased throughout the property in its wooded areas.
