WCA Stony Brook Trail

This is a short 0.3 mile out-and-back side trail that leads down to Stony Brook at the Westover Conservation Area in Ludlow, MA.

The trail appears to continue on the other side of Stony Brook, but there is no bridge to cross over the water. The water level can often be too high to cross without getting wet, but may be possible during dryer seasons or to more adventurous hikers.

Trailhead: To reach the trailhead, you'll first need to hike down the Main Trail at WCA.

Parking: Parking can be found about 0.2 miles from West St along Tilley St by the gate.
