The Franklin Parker Preserve provides an excellent 6-mile hike to experience its natural beauty. Along the way, you'll traverse through wetlands, open meadows, cranberry bogs and blueberry fields. Embark on a captivating journey through this unique ecosystem and gain a deeper appreciation for its natural beauty. Lunch will be on the trail, please bring a daypack with water and lunch.
