Part of the 21st Annual Housatonic Heritage Walks series. Housatonic Heritage Walks are FREE, guided interpretive walks to the most interesting historic, cultural, industrial, natural and scenic sites in Berkshire County, MA, & Litchfield County, CT.

Join Tim Hunter, from the Sharon Land Trust, for a moderate to difficult walk of the Goodbody Preserve. The preserve lies on the southern reach of Indian Mountain and combines acres of high-value farmland with a protected forest corridor to the highest elevations on Indian Mountain. Spanning 107 acres, it features a loop trail that climbs to an elevation of 1,065 ft. Three separate viewpoints can be found along the trail—Sharon Valley, Millerton Valley, and Mudge Pond—each one featuring a bench on which to take in some of the most spectacular views in this area of Sharon. 2 hours–2.5 miles
