 The Higgins property is located off of Birch Meadow Drive, and stretches from the Rice Moody Girl Scout Camp to a stream at its opposite end. A well-trod path that runs the length of the property and ends on Criterion Street begins next to the stream.
 The stream is probably the area's most notable feature, as it has been widened by man and hand-lined with rocks. To the right of the path, the land is covered by large vernal pools. There is a makeshift bridge available further down the street that will let you avoid many of these. Upon crossing the pools there is another trail that goes through tall pine and oak trees which cover the area from the pools to the Girl Scout Camp. The other part of the
property, between the stream and the path, consists of a predominantly oak forest and scattered pine trees.
