Under The Glass The world through my lenses

Monoosnoc Trail

While hiking at Sholan Farms I saw many markers such as this one which marked the trails. Some of them that I did not take a photo of were for the Monoosnoc Trail.

The Monoosnoc Trail is something that I've heard about but never really paid much attention to it. Doing some research I found a trail map though it is not as complete as I would like it to be. The trail is in the western part of Leominster starting on from what I can tell is the end of Maple street. It goes up Monoosnoc ledge which is the hill you see while standing in twin city plaza. From there it continues south through Leominster state forest and what is known as Parmenter road. Continuing south you pass Haynes Reservoir, Bayberry Hill and Fallbrook Reservoir which brings you close to where I was at Sholan Farms. The trail continues on until it ends at Samosett School.

The length of this trail is said to be 11 miles long. My daughter is already asking me when we are going to hike this trail. If only I had the energy of an eight year old
