Higgins Mountain, Georgetown
In 2000, the Higgins Mountain Preserve was donated to the Land Tust. This preserve provides stunning views of the coast from atop the bedrock outcrops of the mountain. A short loop trail leads from a small parking lot on the west side of Rt.127 and winds through the forest to the rocky summit. Broom crowberry, a low growing shrub, is found in the shallow soils between rocky outcrops at the summit. In the summer of 2004 a wildfire burned two acres at the top of the mountain. Land Trust volunteers are closely watching the recovery of the vegitation. Directions - View Map Download Trail Guide with map and description.
