Baldpate Hill

This property is near Baldpate Pond and a satellite of Massachusetts Division of Forest and Parks property. If you were to continue down Baldpate Road toward Boxford, these site would be on the left. Baldpate Hill sits on top of one of Essex County's drumlins. Most of the rounded hills in the county are drumlins and are the result of glacial action. Scarlet Tanagers, House Wrens, and ruby meadowhawk dragonflies can be spotted in the summer, and gray tree frogs can be heard calling, especially after rain. Historically, Ruffed Grouse lived here; it's up to the visitor to determine if they still do.

Activities: Hiking, birding & nature study, cross-country skiing & snowshoeing
