Kenyon Crossroads

49 acres in protection

Overview

Rich in history and natural beauty, Kenyon Crossroads blends upland woods, swamp, and farmland into a landscape shaped by centuries of use.

Much of the Tomaquag Trail here follows a historic town Driftway, intersecting the colonial-era King’s Highway at the landmark Four Corners. Along the way, visitors can discover stone foundations from 18th-century homes and barns. Farm stone walls wind across the property, alongside even older stone cairns built by Indigenous peoples. A boardwalk trail crosses a swamp that has been reshaped by local beaver activity—earning the name “Beaver Flood Trail.”
