Arcadia Wildlife Sanctuary’s forest, meadows, marsh, and wetlands are great places to explore at any time of year.
Arcadia is part of the Mass Audubon sanctuary system. Arcadia is a sanctuary for wildlife and for people, managed to support wildlife and to provide wildlife viewing opportunities. Five miles of well-established walking trails offer beautiful views of the sanctuary's wetland, woodland, and grassland habitats, as well as Mount Tom and the Connecticut River.
Trails open dawn to dusk. Free for members of Mass Audubon and for residents of Easthampton and Northampton. Admission for nonmembers $4 adults, $3 children or seniors.
Mass Audubon protects 38,000 acres of land throughout Massachusetts, saving birds and other wildlife, and making nature accessible to all. As Massachusetts’ largest nature conservation nonprofit, we welcome more than a half million visitors a year to our wildlife sanctuaries and 20 nature centers. From inspiring hilltop views to breathtaking coastal landscapes, serene woods, and working farms, we believe in protecting our state’s natural treasures for wildlife and for all people—a vision shared in 1896 by our founders, two extraordinary Boston women. Today, Mass Audubon is a nationally recognized environmental education leader, offering thousands of camp, school, and adult programs that get over 225,000 kids and adults outdoors every year. With more than 125,000 members and supporters, we advocate on Beacon Hill and beyond, and conduct conservation research to preserve the natural heritage of our beautiful state for today’s and future generations. We welcome you to explore a nearby sanctuary, find inspiration, and get involved. Learn how at massaudubon.org.
