High Ledges Wildlife Sanctuary

in the Town of Shelburne

The High Ledges Wildlife Sanctuary is owned and maintained by the Massachusetts Audubon

Society. It is arguably the most beautiful 586 acres in the Region and is accessible year round.

On an extensive trail system, High Ledges boasts a large inventory of native plants and

wildflowers and is a haven for naturalists, photographers, and everyone who appreciates

scenic views and unspoiled terrain.

Wildflowers are best viewed May through September. October features fantastic fall foliage

views of the Village of Shelburne Falls, the Deerfield River valley and Mt. Graylock.

When winter snows carpet the sanctuary you can navigate the trails on snowshoes.

The sanctuary is open all year dawn to dusk. Visitors are requested to comply with regulations

such as: No pets on or off leash. Don’t pick any plants. For a complete list of these regulations
