Conquest Preserve Trailhead Parking

Nice trail - marked by following either the worn foot path in the woods or cut grass in the field areas. Walked from the parking area to the beach and then did a bit more trail walking. Enjoyed bird watching, the beach and playing in the water (see attached pics). No issue with parking but did lose cell service at one point.

Not well advertised, mapped or blazed the trails here are at least maintained well and it's reasonably easy to navigate (GPS recommended). Managed 6 miles of hiking in all, it's probably possible to do a little more than that even without backtracking too much. A great spot with a lot of nature to see. A little marshy underfoot here and there so waterproof boots would be a plus.

UPDATE: I first went in Winter, and that was great, but returning in April I just need to add that myself and my dogs picked up more ticks here than I have seen anywhere else so maybe I'll keep this for Winter hikes.

Beautiful nature preserve with mowed paths and excellent wildlife habitat. Great for birdwatching.
