East Woods Natural Area
A musical brook and off-leash regulars who know each other's dogs
About this park
A short, well-kept loop through tall deciduous forest and conifers, anchored by a deep ravine and the musical Potash Brook. Regulars treat it as an off-leash walking spot under voice-command rules, and the community self-selects for well-behaved dogs and attentive owners. The full loop runs about 30 minutes, making it easy to fit into a weekday routine.

Before you go
Most dogs here are off-leash, so this isn't the right spot for a reactive dog or one that needs to stay leashed. Traffic noise builds as you approach I-189, and parking is on a busy street. Back in carefully.
