Let’s hike another Greenbelt property Vineyard Hill. Vineyard Hill has about 3 miles of trails but I could extend this hike either into the abutting Bradley Palmer State Park or across the street for a short scenic overlook.

*This is a new area to explore for me.*

**Vineyard Hill Reservation**
Hardwood Forest, Open Field, Critical Habitat

Located between Bradley Palmer State Park and the Ipswich River Wildlife Sanctuary, Vineyard Hill Reservation in Hamilton and Topsfield represents one of the most scenic landscapes in Essex County.

This classic glacial landscape is characterized by steep drumlins and intervening streams and boggy depressions. An extensive trail network begins here, leading to Vineyard Hill to the south, with filtered ridgeline views of the Ipswich River from late fall to early spring.

Or hike north to Shaw Field, where hay is often being grown by a local dairy farmer and trail connections to abutting conservation land lie beyond.

Across Asbury Street is 60 acres of farmland preserved and owned by Greenbelt, including 20 acres of working fields on what is now Iron Ox Farm.

**What to Bring** : Always good to have water and possibly a snack. If by chance cold or snow arrives, it may be good to have some sort of foot traction.
