About the place
Spanning more than 3,000 acres, Harold Parker offers a large network of forest roads, ponds, wetlands, and CCC-era trails. The forest extends over Andover, North Andover, North Reading, and Middleton. Spring brings open pond views before the canopy fills in, steady footing on gravel roads, and cool mixed pine-oak conditions across long loops.
