The Highmoor Trail at the Rice Nature Preserve is a moderate 0.7-mile out-and-back hike located in Wilbraham, Massachusetts. This trail is classed as easy though there is notable elevation gain, hence the moderate difficulty.

The first section of trail has plenty of small boardwalks and bridges to avoid mud and water, but seems to go without them the rest of the way. During the wet season, the rest of the trail is very muddy and can be difficult to stay dry on.

The trail starts off at the end of Highmoor Drive and quickly heads up into the Wilbraham Mountains and the Rice Nature Preserve before heading back to parking after just over a quarter-mile.

Dogs and biking are both allowed on this trail.

Before you leave...

MyHikes is an indie web platform aimed to make exploring public trails easier for everyone. The site has no investors and is owned and operated by one person, Dave Miller (Founder & Admin). As the Founder, main contributor, and doer-of-all-things for MyHikes, I share my trips with over-detailed write-ups for fun on a volunteer basis and I believe that public trail information should be available to everyone.

It takes a lot of time 🕦, money 💰, and effort (including espresso shots ☕) to run MyHikes, including hiking , mapping , writing , and publishing new trails with high-quality content... along with building new features, moderating, site maintainance, and app development for iOS and Android . I simply ask that if you find MyHikes' trail guides helpful to please consider becoming a Supporter to help keep the site, iOS, and Android apps available to everyone.

Supporters unlock website and in-app perks with a one-time payment of $25 (you renew) 😎👍. Or you can simply make a Donation of your choice without a MyHikes user account. Otherwise, telling your friends about MyHikes is the next-best thing - both quick and free 🎉

Thanks for visiting MyHikes and have a great hike!️
