Visitors
to the 557 acres of Federal public land at Barre Falls Dam will find wetlands,
forests, open fields, and river areas. These habitats are home to many
species including songbirds, seasonal migrant birds, ravens, waterfowl,
moose, whitetail deer, wild turkey, fox, and rabbits. After a short drive,
visitors from the local metropolitan areas can lose themselves in the tranquility
of nature. Protected from the pressures of urban expansion, the Ware River
Watershed is one of southern New England's most beautiful rural areas.
