Description
 

The best parking for Fletcher Pond is just over the New Hampshire border at Yudicky Park. 1000 yards from Yudicky there is a vast area of conservation land that extends south into Massachusetts. It’s called the Dunstable Rural Land Trust and it includes other small conservation parcels like Greg Woods. Head west, that's a right turn, from the parking lot at Yudicky on Groton Rd until you see a pile of boulders blocking an old road into the woods on your left. Follow the obvious trail in and you’ll discover many miles of mostly mellow marked trails.

The trails at Dunstable are marked with colored markers. Some, especially the narrow singletracks, are a bit overgrown but most flow freely and are a lot of fun to ride. This is a perfect area to introduce newer riders to the sport or for family expeditions. There’s even a spring fed lake where you can take a quick dip. Enjoy yourself.

This map shows most of the trails.  This larger map locates the Dunstable Rural Land Trust and all of the other town conservation lands.
