Don your sneakers or boots for a more strenuous hike in the famous Hitchcock Woods; one of the largest urban forests in the nation, at just under 2100 acres with 65 miles of walking and riding trails to enjoy year-round. All of these wonderful opportunities are within walking distance of downtown, so living here is truly a delight.
