Past the Old Sturbridge Village education center on the road that connects rt. 84 to Main St., you will find the primary Leadmine Mountain parking area just inside of the OSV Access Rd. gate. There is ample parking here and access to the lower loops and broader trail network.

Expect to stay level, or climb then descend from this access point depending on the mileage you’d like to cover. This is the most direct access point to the blue lagoon on Arbutus.

Again, from the rt. 84 side of the network, the lot on Shattuck Rd. lies outside of the OSV Access Rd. gate. There is parking for approximately 10 cars and a perfect ‘overflow’ parking lot if you’re looking to access the lower trail loops or start your epic hike with elevation gain before descending.

This access point brings you to the blue lagoon and can be a quicker path to upper area singletrack preferred by mountain bikers. The Saw Mill waterfall is also a short hike from this area.

Drive up the scenic Stallion Hill Rd climb, which runs parallel to the Leadmine Mountain trail system, bear left down Leadmine Rd., and you’ll reach the upper parking lot for this beautiful system.

Exit through the gates within the parking lot and you’ll descend into the upper loops and singletrack areas of Leadmine Mountain. Cross the street and you will access scenic Heins Farm with some of the best views in town. While on the Heins Farm side, bring your binoculars or bird watching in this prime habitat.
