The
Little Ausable River Trail
The
Town of Peru has built a chip seal paved trail to offer residents and
visitors an opportunity to enjoy a variety of healthy outdoor
activities within a beautiful and varied natural environment. The trail
will also protect and interpret the important historic sites of
Heyworth/Mason Park and a section of the D&H rail line, both
instrumental to the Town’s development.
The
trailhead is
in Heyworth/Mason Park just off Mason Hill Rd in the hamlet of Peru.
With
parking, benches, picnic tables, historic interpretive signage and a
beautiful 1836 stone mill, it’s a great place to start your
adventure. The trail covers 1.25 miles, from Heyworth/Mason
Park
to the entrance to Sullivan Park on Route 22. You can then
use
the sidewalk to connect back to the trailhead, for a 2.25 mile loop.
(see map)
It’s an
interesting trip with massive cottonwoods, a planted pine forest, open
fields
and the
river.
It seems to be an excellent birding site as well. We now have
several benches installed. Enjoy!
Thank You
