Templeman Woods
In 1996, Martha Templeman donated the 8.2 acre parcel known as Templeman Woods. It abuts the 9.8 acres town property, Watkins Woods Conservation Land, resulting in 18 contiguous acres of wetlands and uplands. It can be accessed from Cordaville Road (Rte 85), by crossing wooden boardwalks constructed by several Eagle Scout candidates. The property extends towards Sunrise and Ashley Drives, and is bordered by the Mass Pike.
Features include vernal pools, glacial rock formations, old stone walls, and the Martha Templeman dedication plaque.
There is limited parking near the trail entrance for two or three cars along Rte. 85, close to the Mass Pike overpass.
Note that the trail was re-routed recently (2021-2022), and the published maps have not been updated. The maps below shows the track walked in November 2022. There are red blazes on trees along the trail.
