Mary Moore Preserve

One of our most popular and special properties, Mary Moore Preserve sits on the southwestern reach of the Red Mountain range. It features nearly 3 miles of trails through farm fields, forests, and boulder fields, and offers options for both easy and moderate hikes. The short climb to the lookout offers some of the best vistas in the Berkshires, with a view that encompasses three states (and benches so you can take a rest). The loop around the cliff trail from the parking area passes by dramatic, moss-covered boulder fields and the State Champion Chinkapin Oak. Chinkapin are a species of oak that tend to be found further south so it is unique to have this beautiful specimen here in Sharon. The Mary Moore trails are part of the Red Mountain trail system, which connects via the Wike Brothers Farm and continues to the Hamlin Preserve, allowing for a longer hike that traverses all three properties.
