Local Secret (and not-so-secret) Gardens & Hikes
We heard about this treasure years ago and finally explored it in Fall 2021. And we’re so glad we did! We found an enchanted garden and .4 mile whimsical trail on this private property. The owner invites the public to enjoy his creation. You will find statues, sculptures, inspiring quotes and so much more. If there is a breeze, you will hear the wind chimes. Bring a book, take a book. You will even find a Free Library on the trails.

Although we haven’t hiked this trail yet, it’s on our bucket list. This beginner trail is perfect for families and children. Enter this trail at 586 Briggs Rd in Athol. There are several dozen gnomes to find along the trail.
