My Favorite Nature Reserves
Specifically wildlife, flora, and good photography / hiking spots
Scenic trails, lots of wildlife, love the diversity of the seasons. Depending on what you’re looking for there is a meadow, vernal pools, and a pond with some frogs and turtles. Plenty of birding :) in the same parking lot as La Salette, just in the ...
Attleboro Springs Wildlife Sanctuary
$4 to park or you need a yearly pass. Plenty of trails and wildlife. It’s many acres. My favorite trail is bluff trail (you have to walk along Billingtons loop to get to it) but it ends up with a hill skyline view above all the trees and it’s a great...
Moose Hill Wildlife Sanctuary
Free Parking. Not directly in Attleboro but only 10 minutes out. Theres over 15 miles of trails, with the TRUE summit being in the middle of the woods with no scenic overlooks. This is a good trail if you’re looking for elevation, as it’s a good work...
F. Gilbert Hills State Forest
Perfect spot if you need to clear your head—walk the boardwalk, hear the leaves, see the water, breathe. Mild terrain, accessible trails — great for a chill nature break rather than a hardcore hike.
Mass Audubon's Oak Knoll Wildlife Sanctuary
Nice easy wander in the woods when you just need fresh air but not a full hike. Short trails so perfect for a quick nature fix.
Nickerson Walking Woods Preserve
This is one of those hidden gems in town—you feel like you’re in the middle of nowhere but it’s 5 minutes from home.
Deborah and Roger Richardson Nature Preserve
Right next to Attleboro. The zoo area has walking trails around the ponds and wooded paths, perfect for combining a casual walk with nature spotting. Cute for a slow stroll, you can see turtles, ducks, and the trees are gorgeous in fall.
