Beaver Brook Greenway. Though the property consists of 106 acres, the six acres lying between the road and Beaver Brook were rehabilitated between 2017-2019 by Broad Brook Coalition and Leeds Civic Association members with the aid of a grant from the Community Preservation Committee. The area boasts many interesting visitor features. A raised wildlife blind overlooks Beaver Brook. Along the trails interpretive signage describes the natural and human history, farm relics and the Starkus perennial garden. Two picnic tables are set in a small shaded clearing. Endangered species thrive in this conservation area, so please NO dogs. Limited parking is available between the two designated signs at the Corrosion Control Facility on Haydenville Rd.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-mvgrd1lb-afe4e359e2d721f6cc6ba972b69c515e '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><a href=\"https:\/\/leedscivic.org\/leeds2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Beaver-Brook-Trail-Map-Revised-2-12-19.pdf\"><strong>Beaver Brook Greenway Trail Map<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-47gnkq-2a52be61a051adf5a92aecfeda60f7fd\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-47gnkq-2a52be61a051adf5a92aecfeda60f7fd{\ncolor:#ed561a;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-47gnkq-2a52be61a051adf5a92aecfeda60f7fd .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-47gnkq-2a52be61a051adf5a92aecfeda60f7fd .special-heading-inner-border{\nborder-color:#ed561a;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-47gnkq-2a52be61a051adf5a92aecfeda60f7fd .av-subheading{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='av-special-heading av-47gnkq-2a52be61a051adf5a92aecfeda60f7fd av-special-heading-h3 custom-color-heading  avia-builder-el-8  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock '><h3 class='av-special-heading-tag '  itemprop=\"headline\"  >Robert\u2019s Hill section of Sawmill Hills Conservation Area<\/h3><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-w4oq-82ed5f5e53f2c88d03c25f4f7178a8ce '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-9120 image-spaced\" src=\"https:\/\/leedscivic.org\/leeds2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/coservation-squares2-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"224\" height=\"224\" srcset=\"https:\/\/leedscivic.org\/leeds2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/coservation-squares2-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/leedscivic.org\/leeds2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/coservation-squares2-80x80.jpg 80w, https:\/\/leedscivic.org\/leeds2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/coservation-squares2-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/leedscivic.org\/leeds2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/coservation-squares2-36x36.jpg 36w, https:\/\/leedscivic.org\/leeds2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/coservation-squares2-180x180.jpg 180w, https:\/\/leedscivic.org\/leeds2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/coservation-squares2-705x705.jpg 705w, https:\/\/leedscivic.org\/leeds2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/coservation-squares2-120x120.jpg 120w, https:\/\/leedscivic.org\/leeds2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/coservation-squares2-450x450.jpg 450w, https:\/\/leedscivic.org\/leeds2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/coservation-squares2-500x500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/leedscivic.org\/leeds2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/coservation-squares2-400x400.jpg 400w, https:\/\/leedscivic.org\/leeds2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/coservation-squares2.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 224px) 100vw, 224px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Robert\u2019s Hill is a unique 1010 acre treasure in Leeds. The trail network is pretty diverse. The Green Diamond Trail was once part of the stagecoach route from Boston to Albany and is relatively flat. The Blue Rectangle Trail leads to the summit through a hemlock grove and dense mountain laurel patches. Halfway to the summit begins the foothills to the Berkshires, a transition zone where some southern tree species and some northern species grow. The summit offers a spectacular western view. Remnants of a stone quarry can be seen on the eastern side of the summit. Limited street parking is available at entrances on Dimmock Street, Water Street and Reservoir Road.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-mvgrgpxr-df31523036d817bc1da6766eaed2cd9b '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><a href=\"https:\/\/leedscivic.org\/leeds2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Roberts-Hill-TrailMap-Update-2022.pdf\"><strong>Robert&#8217;s Hill Trail Map<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-muiw5g1t-dfa3d2420a0370bb3b155b6a06ac770e\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-muiw5g1t-dfa3d2420a0370bb3b155b6a06ac770e{\ncolor:#ed561a;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-muiw5g1t-dfa3d2420a0370bb3b155b6a06ac770e .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-muiw5g1t-dfa3d2420a0370bb3b155b6a06ac770e .special-heading-inner-border{\nborder-color:#ed561a;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-muiw5g1t-dfa3d2420a0370bb3b155b6a06ac770e .av-subheading{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='av-special-heading av-muiw5g1t-dfa3d2420a0370bb3b155b6a06ac770e av-special-heading-h3 custom-color-heading  avia-builder-el-11  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock '><h3 class='av-special-heading-tag '  itemprop=\"headline\"  >Sawmill Hills Conservation Area<\/h3><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-muiw5spj-24b7559765deaafce7f29398e62f1981 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-9124 image-spaced\" src=\"https:\/\/leedscivic.org\/leeds2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/coservation-squares3-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"224\" height=\"224\" srcset=\"https:\/\/leedscivic.org\/leeds2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/coservation-squares3-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/leedscivic.org\/leeds2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/coservation-squares3-80x80.jpg 80w, https:\/\/leedscivic.org\/leeds2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/coservation-squares3-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/leedscivic.org\/leeds2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/coservation-squares3-36x36.jpg 36w, https:\/\/leedscivic.org\/leeds2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/coservation-squares3-180x180.jpg 180w, https:\/\/leedscivic.org\/leeds2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/coservation-squares3-705x705.jpg 705w, https:\/\/leedscivic.org\/leeds2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/coservation-squares3-120x120.jpg 120w, https:\/\/leedscivic.org\/leeds2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/coservation-squares3-450x450.jpg 450w, https:\/\/leedscivic.org\/leeds2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/coservation-squares3-500x500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/leedscivic.org\/leeds2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/coservation-squares3-400x400.jpg 400w, https:\/\/leedscivic.org\/leeds2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/coservation-squares3.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 224px) 100vw, 224px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Sawmill Hills encompasses XXX acres of wooded hills that stretch between Sylvester Road to the west, Spring Street to the east and Ryan Road to the south.
