- Sheep Hill Trails -
Two scenic walking loops (one an easy half-hour, one a not-so-easy 45 minutes) for hiking, skiing, snowshoeing

Located approximately 1 mile south of the center of Williamstown on Route 7, at a gravel driveway on its west side, the former Rosenburg Farm, locally known as Sheep Hill, offers dramatic views of the valley and surrounding mountains. The WRLF now owns and preserves this property, formerly a family farm and ski area for the town and Williams College. Two short walks traverse the hillside meadow, providing a pleasant way to enjoy viewing the dramatic scenery and numerous flora and fauna. Both trails begin from the collection of old farm buildings. Rosenburg Ramble begins north of the farm buildings, looping around the entire property for approximately 1- 1/2 miles. Several parking areas have been put in at the top of the hillside and are accessible from Bee Hill Road where the panoramic views of the Greylock range are dramatic in all seasons. The Rosenburg Ramble terminates south of the farm buildings, where the Meadow Walk begins. The Meadow Walk is a short, easy way to enjoy the views of Sheep Hill, and loops around the pond at the lower area of the hillside.
