Fox Hill includes 99 acres of dense woodland include 3 miles of trails about 1000' of scenic river frontage and a swimming hole known as Green Frog. It's a very popular place for residents to walk their dogs and for kids to practice their mountain biking skills as it's only 1/8 mile from the Pump Track at Field Park. The trails going uphill have intermediate and expert technical sections but provide a link to the adjoining Lawrence Family Forest and connections on to Horse and Hound Inn and to the Franconia Inn.
