Friends Of Millbury Nature Trails

Friends Of Millbury Nature trails is an organization created in July 2026. Our core purpose is to aide the Town of Millbury in maintaining and the expansion of multi-use trail systems by way of the creative funding mechanisms to financially support Millbury Nature Trail Committee.

Stowe Meadows

Stowe Meadows features nearly seven miles of recreation across several trails:

  • The Carlton Road trail head, also known as The Connector Trail, is wide, with easy walking and features the fastest way to the main attraction, Rich’s Mill and Dam. When you reach the arrow pointing to the right, it can be difficult to cross over the spill way to the dam. This is a beautiful historical site to be seen from Millbury’s early days.
  • The Yellow Connector Trail goes from Carlton Road to Stowe Road and the Apple orchard
    (which is posted and private property). The best route to enjoy 4 miles of the 150-acre parcel is
    to follow the Connector Trail, turn right at the White Twin Springs Trail. When you reach the
    Red Pipeline Trail, go left up over the hill. On the other side stay left; this will bring you back to
    another section of the Connector Trail. Stay to the left again, and when you cross over the brook, take a right on the Running River Trail, this will bring you straight into Rich’s Mill Dam.
