Red Acre is a parcel of conservation land in Stow MA that was purchased by the Stow Conservation Trust in 2002. Although some hiking across or along roads is required, a continuous hike can easily be made from the Gardner Hill conservation area, through Red Acre, into the Capt. Sargent Farm Conservation Area.

NOTE: This is my calculation of the extents of the area(s) with publicly accessible trails on the KMZ map. This should be the area available for hiking or other recreation, but it will also include any portion of water bodies, marshes, swamps, etc. within the boundaries of the properties on the KMZ. It would also include inaccessible conservation land within the boundaries, such as a buffer zone of "Do not enter" land around a reservoir.
