Why to visit:
Hatch Lots is a great walk for families looking to spend 45 minutes in the woods. The conservation area is just under 50 acres with about 2 miles of trails. It's an out and back trail so there is no loop.
There trails are well maintained and include a few small bridges. You'll appreciate them not only for photo opportunities but also to keep your feet/paws out of the mud. Much of the preserve is swamp land. If you are interested in staying away from mud, avoid visiting after a rainy day.
But perhaps the best part about a visit to Hatch lots is being able to visit Hornstra Farms! Part of the trail system at Hatch abuts Hornstra Farms fields - but to visit you need to drive just around the corner. At Hornstra Farms, you can get up close with adorable young baby cows and pick up some locally made products. Hornstra sells their own tasty ice cream and other dairy related products - but they also have breads, cookies, donuts etc.
