Topping Farm Trail

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.
