There are several relatively flat loop trails at Willow Brook highlighted by multiple stone walls, old farm pastures, boardwalks, stream crossing (bridge), and an observation tower looking out over the wetlands bordering Herring Brook. Also note that the 144 acre Town of Pembroke 'Misty Meadows' property abuts Willow Brook Farm and the hiking trails on both properties are interconnected. With recent trail improvements at 'Misty Meadows' hikers can significanty expand the scope of hikes in this area.
