This town-owned, 25-acre, Open Space is visible along the side of the road here. It adds some great forest cover to this section of the ride, and some nice views of colorful leaves in the fall.

Buckingham Reservoir

Highlight • Lake

This is a beautiful reservoir, absolutely pristine. The tranquil water simply showcases a mirror image of the sky above and the deep green trees lining the banks add a nice ambience to the overall view.

Buckingham Reservoir

Highlight • Lake

There's a nice loop trail around this reservoir, and it's also popular for snowshoeing during the winter. Heads up, though, there are some unbridged stream crossings and some of the trail markings are a little iffy.
