Acquired in 2005.  Watch for the sign on the north side of Sherburne Rd.  Parking is available near the sign. Walking through the woods on the Merriam area makes you think you are very far from civilization. There is a well marked trail to the left as you enter the woods by the path near the large sign on Sherburne Rd. The trail is marked by yellow paint on trees. Slopes on the trail are steep in parts and the trail runs through some seasonally wet areas. The trail is a loop that takes hikers through the property, past ponds, and back to the start. Allow about one hour for the whole loop. Property boundaries are marked by red blazes on trees. Hunting is permitted. This area was named to memorialize the late Fred Merriam.
