One of Granby’s most beautiful places in any season, the Granby Land Trust’s Dismal Brook Wildlife Preserve is 210 acres of diverse habitat – a unique combination of woods, freshwater marsh, open fields and ridgeline.

In 2020, the preserve was donated to the GLT by Jamie Gamble, a longtime GLT board member and a lover of nature, who was a devoted steward of this land.  Today, the property offers nearly three miles of trails, which are open to the public from dawn to dusk daily, year-round.  All are welcome.  Please keep dogs on leash and stay on the trails to protect wildlife habitat, and please leave no trace.  The Dismal Brook Wildlife Preserve is located at 253 Loomis Street in North Granby.
