Whipple Hill
Overview
120 acres, 3.9 miles of trails. Whipple Hill is Lexington's second largest conservation area and includes the highest point in town, the summit of Whipple Hill (375 feet). Trails wind across ledge outcrops, through mature stands of northern hardwoods and white pines, and along Whipple Brook and Locke Pond. Many species of birds visit Whipple Hill, particularly during migration, and the vegetation is richly varied, including a few species that are considered to be uncommon to rare in our area.
