Mass Audubon Arcadia Wildlife Sanctuary in Easthampton

day21 (27AUG2024)sanctuary38: wide, smooth trails thru a variety of habitats. floodplain ridges formed by ancient and powerful forces. minimal shrub layer beneath towering hardwoods.

This walk was GORGEOUS! About 5 mins into our walk we saw a deer and proceeded to see many different birds. The observation tower is a must and overlooks a body of water. Special thanks to Vanessa who gave us trail recommendations and lots of information about the local wildlife! Will be back 10/10

Plenty of wildlife to watch. Particularly common are blue herons and deer, but hawks and even bald eagles (as seen above) can also be found.

This is one outstanding place. prefect for outdoor events or simple a nice place to walk in the woods. very peaceful and beautiful.

Joseph and I participated in the Arcadia Quabbin walk with John Green. He’s a great guy, enthusiastic and a wonderful conversationalist. He is a naturalist who loves what he does. Whenever we are looking at Arcadia programs we always look for programs that John leads. It was a cloudy evening and we walked the dike. Not much to see besides geese and turkeys. We were thrilled when we spotted a porcupine family grazing on the hill. Thanks Arcadia and to John! Lorraine and Joe Golio

Nice small wildlife sanctuary. Easy walks across the woods. We didn't see and animals, just a number of birds.

Great walking trails although it was pretty buggy when I went. A few trails go along the river which was nice to hear the flowing water as you walked. There was a nice wooden walkway around one of the vernal pools. It was a peaceful walk through the woods. At the front of the office there were alot of beautiful flowers. I also saw a woodchuck and a beaver while I was there.

Good for birding. Small and popular with too many trails and intersections to let your mind go and unwind. Limited view from tower.
