The Higgins property is located off of Birch Meadow Drive, and
stretches from the Rice Moody Girl Scout Camp to a stream at its
opposite end. A well-trod path that runs the length of the property
and ends on Criterion Street begins next to the stream.
The stream is probably the area's most notable feature, as it
has been widened by man and hand-lined with rocks. To the right of
the path, the land is covered by large vernal pools. There is a
makeshift bridge available further down the street that will let
you avoid many of these. Upon crossing the pools there is another
trail that goes through tall pine and oak trees which cover the
area from the pools to the Girl Scout Camp. The other part of the
property, between the stream and the path, consists of a
predominantly oak forest and scattered pine trees.
I would recommend water-proof boots ;)
