The Tully Trail is a 22  mi (35,4  km ) long loop trail in the state of Massachusetts of the United States . It runs through the areas of the cities of Royalston , Orange and Warwick and is managed by the organization The Trustees of Reservations .

Flatly

The first steps in installing the trail were taken in 1997 as part of a North Quabbin Regional Landscape Partnership project , but the trail was not completed until 2001. It was designed in such a way that it leads through a large number of different protected areas and thus represents the diversity of the region.

Start and end point of the trail is owned by the United States Army Corps of Engineers located campsite Tully Lake Campground , located on the same name is the lake and is administered by the Trustees. In the eastern part, the path initially leads past three waterfalls, which are looked after by the trustees as nature reserves . The Lawrence Brook flows over the Doane's Falls into the Tully Lake, and very close by - already as part of the Harvard Forest - the Spirit Falls .

The trail continues along Jacobs Hill and offers good views of the wooded foothills of the Berkshire Mountains and the peaks of Tully Mountain and Mount Grace . At the northeast end of the loop is the Royalston Falls , over which the Brook Falls falls 45  ft (13.7  m ). In the north, the Tully Trail is connected to the Metacomet Monadnock hiking trail , which continues south to Connecticut and north to Mount Monadnock in New Hampshire .
