The sanctuary features 12 miles (19 km) of interconnected trails wind through forests, meadows, and swamps, vernal pools, drumlins, and eskers.

[1] The Rockery Trail runs beside large rocks, exotic trees, and shrubs that belonged to an arboretum at Bradstreet Farm, parts of which were donated by owner Thomas Emerson Proctor.

There are donated benches scattered throughout the Sanctuary, one perched high on the South Esker Trail with wonderful views of birds on the water below.

The bench features an inscribed quote on the back: “It’s the end of all strain, It’s the joy in your heart,” attributed to Antonio Carlos Jobim.

Thomas Emerson Proctor (1873–1949), a leather fortune heir, lived in the house of Captain Dudley Bradstreet (1765–1833) (currently the Audubon Visitor Center).
