Topping Farm Conservation Area is located on Goodell Street in Belchertown, Massachusetts and this short and easy trail leads into the woods and back for 0.3 miles total. There are 2 other access points on Orchard Street as well that connect to other trails at Topping Farm. This trail is a very short, old logging road that ends abruptly. The parking area is also fairly small. There's another short trail here that runs down toward a small creek then ends - this small creek is not Hop Brook, but a tributary to Hop Brook. The area is not very developed but seems to be more popular than expected for such a short trail.
