With legal battle over, FPDCC's Horizon Farm fully reopens to public

A new 1.2-mile loop trail and a spur connection to a nearby riding club are among the attractions at Horizon Farm, which has a main entrance on Old Sutton Road south of Otis Road.Some of the preserve opened to the public in 2021, but the southern portion -- more than half the entire property -- had been closed until late last month while trails were built and unwanted buildings removed, officials said.

Horizon Farms was in foreclosure when the forest district acquired it in 2013 for $14.5 million. The site opened to the public in 2015 but closed that fall while district officials and the previous owners feuded over the purchase.The site features meadows, wetlands and small streams, among other natural attractions.

Activities including hiking, bird-watching, photography, horseback riding and cross-country skiing are allowed.
