Graylag's Story

Join the Graylag community

The Friends of Graylag are neighbors and community members who provide extra support to the nature preserve through a donation or by volunteering their time. In addition to helping Graylag thrive, Friends receive a pass that allows year-round access to the trails, an early reservation window for the summer season, and invitation to special Friends events. We hope you will join us.

Stonewall Building

Saturday, November 23

Do you have any old stone walls you'd like to learn to repair, or a new wall you'd like to build? Saturday, November 23, is a chance to work with a master, Dan Schroth (Dan the Stoneman), learn some new skills, and help improve a bit of Graylag's road frontage along Clough Road in Pittsfield. We'll be working from 8 am on (as Dan says, "until we get tired") near the entrance to Graylag at 320 Clough Road. We hope to see you!

Guided Loon Paddle

Wednesday, July 17, 6 pm

Have you ever wondered why loon chicks ride on their parents’ backs? What loons are saying with those eerie calls in the night? What threats they face on our lakes, and what work is being done to preserve these beautiful, iconic birds in New Hampshire? Join us for a paddling trip on Wild Goose Pond, led by Loon Preservation Committee staff, to learn the answers to all of these questions and more! Space is limited; pre-registration required. Check back -- additional dates will be added!

"Our time at Graylag was exactly what we had hoped for — an oasis of natural calm and beauty that seemed a world away from the constant interference of technology and the hubbub of people that make up our everyday world."

— A Graylag guest

Experience the beauty, peace, and quiet of Graylag by staying in one of our comfortable, beautifully furnished cabins.

A Graylag stay is a great choice for families and friends who want to leave everyday life behind and get close to the natural world of the New England woodlands. Swimming, boating, sailing, fishing, and hiking will energize your days, and quiet starry evenings are punctuated only with the calls of owls and loons.
