The Hapgood Wright Town Forest offers residents of Concord a peaceful and attractive urban recreation area. Originally home to freed slaves who tried their best to farm the infertile land in the mid 1800’s, the forest became Concord’s first conservation area in 2008. There are several trails for nature lovers to explore including the Emerson-Thoreau Amble, the Bay Circuit Trail and the Harry Beyer Assessed Trail Loop. The Fairyland Pond Circuit is especially good for families and takes just 20 minutes. You can park in the small parking area on the east side of Waldon Street and accessible parking is also available at the Assessed Trail entrance.
