IMAGE GALLERY: Jenkins Quarry Reservation

This gallery follows a hike through a historic property off Jenkins Road.

The Jenkins property is most famously known as the site of a stop on the underground railroad. The owner William Jenkins was a very active abolititionist and he mined blue-soapstone on the property.

The property features great views of the Skug River, marshy areas with lots of birds, and large glacial erratics. The property is adjacent to the Mary French Reservation, Hammond Reservation, and Harold Parker State forest and parking can be found at the end of Douglas Drive.
