The French's Ledges Trail is part of a trail network built by property owner and local trail enthusiast, Ira Townsend, providing great opportunities for hiking, biking or skiing through the Townsends' conserved property and adjacent lands. For a fabulous 360-degree view and picnic spot high above the surrounding terrain, continue along this 1.6-mile red blazed trail to the bald top of French's Ledges where you can take in the spectacular views of Croydon and Grantham Mountains, Mt. Ascutney, and the village of Meriden.
