The Beaver Pond Trail is a 2.6-mile gravel trail passing by a 38-acre wetland, an old fire tower and a waterfall.

The 0.4-mile Tree ID Trail is a footpath meandering through a variety of habitats from a dry, upland site to a moist brookside.

The 0.4-mile Crosscut Trail passes through a 14-acre site cleared in 2001 to improve the health and diversity of the forest, as well as to diversify the wildlife habitat at Sessions Woods.  Hike this trail to see how a “new forest” is generated!
