Welcome to Our Trails
More than 10 miles of woodland trails and more than two miles of mowed meadow paths crisscross the 300 acres of woodlands, farmland, meadows, and streams that make up Holcomb Farm. And because the farm is located between Granby Land Trust properties and the McLean Game Refuge -- forming a significant area of permanently protected open space -- Holcomb Farm trails provide access to other trail systems, as well.
Visiting
Our trails are located on both sides of Simsbury Road. Click here for our trail map.
- Western Trails
Access the west side trails at Broad Hill Road or via Granby Land Trust’s Hastings Trail, which is located south of the intersection of Simsbury Road and Holcomb Hill Road. Both trail heads have limited parking. (Please note: there is no longer a trail bridge over Salmon Brook.) Connect to McLean Game Refuge and Granby Land Trust trails via Broad Hill Road. - Eastern Trails
Access the east side trails at the Holcomb Tree Trail entrance, located across from the main Holcomb Farm complex. Ample parking is available at the main complex. Follow the arboretum meadow paths to connect to the woodland trails. Connect to McLean Game Refuge via McLean Connector trail.
All trails are open to the public daily from dawn to dusk. Some trails have moderate elevation gains. Walking, cross-country skiing, and snowshoeing are encouraged. Horseback riding is allowed on all woodland trails and on Preferred Horse Trails in the fields.
Support our Trails
All our trails are maintained by Friends of Holcomb Farm volunteers. We rely on donations and grants to fund our stewardship efforts. Please consider supporting us with a donation or become a stewardship volunteer.
