This 163-acre tract of land features walking trails that wind along a tranquil pond, which is surrounded, by dense woodlands. In the later 1980's, "Dear Leap" was purchased. This 54-acre site features walking trails that meander among massive rock out-cropping and lead to a precipitous rock ledge overlooking Moeckel Pond. The Andrew Town Forest borders Beaver Brook in West Windham and the Verrette Conservation Area allows for canoe access to Canobie Lake.
