Harris Brook Scenic Area

Harris Brook Scenic Area is located about one mile up Moose Mountains Road from the Enfield Post Office. Look for birds in the field near the parking area then take the path for a nice 45 minute hike around the old Enfield reservoir which is actually in Canaan. The reservoir was constructed in 1903 and supplied water to Enfield until 1983.
