Moose Hill Wildlife Sanctuary

Moose Hill is a wonderful and a splendid sanctuary with lots of hiking trails full of wonder in terms of nature! It is also a fun place for kids in the Summer because of its splendid Summer Camp full of excellent fun filled education activities!

Sharon Residents and members have free admission. Non members pay a small fee of $ 4.00 and you can get a map of the trails…
Basically i went to the Moose Hill to take some pictures but i believe it was the wrong time of the year for that (Jan 2015) but i was in the area and i took the chance.
Everything was completelly white, what made the trails a bit hard to follow and easy to get lost but you have to watch for small white rectangular shape tags nailed on the trees, these tags are the indication that you still are on the trail. Bluff trail has an amazing view at some point but i am sure during the fall foliage peak this place would be breathking.
I was dreaming that maybe i would see/​photograph a white tail but it did not happen… Overall it was a good physical exercise.

Moose Hill was right in the middle of where three sets of friends were coming from, which is how we chose it yesterday. Well, that and also my wife and I have an Audubon membership, so we felt we should use it.
We parked in the central lot, and stopped in to the house to get some directions and hit the bathroom. The woman at the desk was very helpful and the bathrooms were well-​maintained.
We then went in the direction of the bluff overlook and Allen’s chimney (not Alien’s chimney as my eyes told me) and worked our way back to the main house. The trails were well-​maintained and clearly marked. My only complaint is that it’s smaller than I had thought it would be. What was described to us as an hour walk was 30 minutes at most. This place would be fantastic with children however for precisely this reason.

My husband and I went here on a Fall Sunday for a nice walk in the woods. In the first few trails, it was great because they were marked and we knew where we were going. After crossing the road to the other side of the marsh walk, we got a little lost because there weren’t any markers to let us know where we needed to make a turn. We eventually found our way, and some markers… only to get kind of lost again.
In the end we were laughing at ourselves and were like… what the hell did we just walk through? Hehe.
It was good time nonetheless… But Trustees Peeps — PLEASE mark your trails.

I’m for it! I don’t know why I didn’t try this place out sooner. The trails are so pretty a little overgrown with grass. It makes you feel like you are the first person to come there in a really long time. There are amazing fields with bird houses and there was a bat cave. Lovely. Wear long pants though the place was INFESTED with ticks in may. Deet is your friend here.
