In July 2025, a new gate was installed at Beals Preserve at the Route 30 end of Old Farm Lane (the path between Route 30 and Red Gate Lane), replacing the old, creaky, hard to manage one. This entrance to the property is used primarily by authorized vehicles but is an access point for visitors who park at the Trustees of the Reservations Chestnut Hill Farm trails parking area and walk down to Main Street. Walkers do not have to open the gate as there is space around both sides. Note that the access is via a shared driveway and that there is no visitor parking. Please be respectful of our neighbor.
