I loved the hike and the trails. They were easy and even though they were over a mile, the views were stunning. It was definitely worth it!

the birthplace of Peter Rabbit has a sad history. author Thornton W Burgess' home still there, but 'zoo' gone, writing studio in disrepair and visitor center burned by arson.
spongy moths weakened and drought killed many oak trees, so deadfalls are a consideration, especially if it's windy.
the split rock looks to me like a breaching whale.
lovely, well maintained trail system may account for a half dozen cars in the parking lot midweek.

Nice level hiking with multiple options for loops about 1.5 mile for the East Brook trail, and probably double that for the longer trails. The split rock was my son's favorite and we saw a few different birds at the pond, Yellow Finch and a Grey Catbird

Great trail out in the woods. The path is not paved or really cleared, there are lots of rocks, roots and various tripping hazards so you have to be aware and watch your feet a lot.

The trail is not very scenic it's just forest and more forest, if you are looking for a scenic view try Ashley's Reservoir or Skinner State Park. But if you're looking to get away from life and be alone with your thoughts and quiet wood sounds, this is the place. The picture I attached is the typical view that you will have for maybe 80-90% of the trail.

The farther loop (Neff Loop) is quiet deep into the forest and you rarely see people pass on the trail, so be careful. Also some sections have a decent incline/decline to them, but they're very short. The trails are very well marketed with signs and markers so you really have to try and get lost, however if you stray off the trail I can imagine it's very easy to get lost if you lose the trail.

Parking is very convenient, just enter through the gate/barrier right before the intersection, there is space for maybe 25 cars or so.

A great place to hike! Beauty surrounds at every turn. Well marked trails. The entrance of the parking lot needs to be repaved.

I went with my friend to laughing brook wildlife sanctuary and its a beautiful place you can hear the water moving down the brook and there are trails to hike down and there's a gazebo, birdhouses, observation deck, and bridges to walk on and I would recommend laughing brook wildlife sanctuary to everyone to go to.
