Great family hiking spot. The staff was very nice and took the time to help us plan a route on the trail map. Gillette stadium can be seen from the vista.

Great place to take kids and connect with nature and yet have some activity. Various fields to pick vegetables and fruits. Play area for the little ones to keep them occupied. Cafe features smoothie bars and juices and tons of healthy bites. Very scenic and beautiful

Gorgeous! Cost to walk trails for 2 adults and 3 kids was $18 (yes they now charge you to walk here). Very nice however we cant afford regular visits.

Great hiking and especially if you're on a budget. It costs nothing to come here and the views are great. Its also not crowded so the trails are very peaceful.

We literally came within 50 yards of a doe as we were walking along a trail and she looked like she could bench about 350 pounds. We then heard some rustling in the woods and assumed it was her fawn. That's a recipe for a terrifying LiveLeak clip. We stopped and stared for a bit before turning up another trail so that she wouldn't attack us. I had my young daughter on my back so the thought of her being hurt scared me. We hiked up Summit Trail to the Fire Tower. Cool! I would visit again!

Lot of nice trails, we did the 3 mile loop (Bay circuit, Turkey Bluff and Billings Loop). Trails are very well marked, little overgrown in some parts. We used AllTrails map for our 3 miles loop.

This is a great wildlife sanctuary to hike in. I followed the trails up and over Moose Hill then to the Bluff Overlook and the Allen Ledges Chimney. The summit of Moose Hill has no view and the fire tower there is fenced in. The Bluff Overlook looks to the southwest to northwest. You can see Gillette Stadium and way in the distance the tops of skyscrapers in Providence RI. There is a limited view at the Chimney. I got to sample a good selection of the trails here, all the intersections are well marked. There are also sections of boardwalk that keeps you above the muddy swampy areas. There is another section that leads in a different direction than where I went so there is much to explore here. Also for folks with pets they aren't allowed. There is a fee to hike here too unless you belong to the Audubon Society or you're a resident of Sharon. It also has a large parking lot and is not hard to find from nearby Rt. 95 and 27.

Moose hill is great. I went to their camp for many summers and it was always a lot of fun. The counselors were great, and we spent out days hiking, exploring, and playing games surrounded by nature.

A little hard to navigate. Make sure to take a photo of the trail map at the parking lot before heading out.

It's okay no spectacular sites but stick to late fall to early spring because this area is incredibly infested with mosquitoes. I go walking in other parks and this is by far the worst for getting bit. Just a tip this is a good place to park and then walk into the mass audubon society trails which are much better

Went to the Halloween walk in the woods they hold annually. If you go, or go to any function put on by them, I would imagine it potentially being the same as my experience. Be aware, it was unabashedly steeped in and absolutely dripping with the politics of nature activism and everything is the fault of humans and you, and scare tactics to shamelessly try to indoctrinate the children attendees - who are there to celebrate nature and Halloween together. I too believe in being responsible with resources, recycling, and I am a LEED AP who has a sincere interest in finding way ways that as an engineer I can help conserve energy. Got it. I'm 1000% on board with all of that, and a government agency (the USGBC) certified it to be so by giving me that professional accreditation, recognizing me as a trained individual with expertise to evaluate and design buildings for comprehensive life cycle based energy efficiency. I practice it. I design it. I believe it. But this display, this utterly shameless display of politics aimed at children - was revolting, and disgusting in in every sense to me. I found it offensive. Keep your politics out of Halloween. Better yet, I'll continue to educate my children the way I see fit with regard to energy efficiency and conserving the environment for them and their children's children. I've never been so turned off by anything I've ever attended. And no, I'm not a republican. I'm a registered independent. Anyways have been, always will be. Never will I attend a political agenda driven pitch to children like this again... my goodness. Please keep doing the work you do to help the environment. As for the politics... Eesh, learn when to dial it back 15 notches. You'll actually reach more people who want to help. Rant over.

Best place! Right now there are lots of trees down and flooded trails, but that is to be expected this time of year! Otherwise, I adore this place! Bluff trail is one of my faves.

Nice overall, not that many trails for the size of the area so they repeat quickly if you come here often.
By the way it is 4 bucks for non sharon members to park here unless you have a MA Audubon membership, but you can probably weasel out of it easy enough.
Trails are in pretty good shape overall. Some rocky, a little mud, a ton of bugs 7 months a year, bug spray is a must then, otherwise go home.
A couple trails are closed, and the signature boardwalk is currently underwater in some parts. It is nice when it is not though, about 1/4 mile of boardwalk through a marsh, they have a few shorter ones as well.
There are quite a few people here, buses of kids and other groups even during the weekdays at times. So fun if you like to say hello to diverse people, but bad if you need to pee in the woods.
On that note there is a clean restroom centrally located in the main building. Unlike some parks it is not locked either!

A Wildlife Sanctuary should be just that. Moose Hill is not as they select deer hunters in the "sanctuary" every year to wipe out the deer population. Do not donate to this "non profit". And "Wildlife Sanctuary" is a complete lie. They need to change their name.

You'll experience few miles of tranquility mid of busy life. There are few trails you can roam freely. And almost all of them are easy tracks. You'll be able to cover all the tracks in one day hike.

There's a small play area near the visitor center with several creative play setups. Weaving, drumming, hiding, colored windows. So much fun!

Moose Hill Wildlife Sanctuary is managed by Mass Audubon. It is one of the larger of their sanctuaries and is well maintained. It has a playground for minor children with several educational and fun setups and they host many events for this age group.
The trails are somewhat extensive with a few excellent views.
The birdlife is limited at this time of the year but we did see a flock of pine siskin and others have seen red crossbill.
