 Kurchian Woods is a 44 acre site located between Franklin St. and Main St. There are four entrances: one is off of Franklin St, next to Kurchian St; a second is behind a house on Brentwood Drive; a third is off of Fairchild Dr; and the fourth is at the end of Brentwood Ave.
The trails within Kurchian go through thick forest. There is a boardwalk over the swamp at the Franklin St. entrance which leads to several trails suitable for hiking. The long, wide field which passes through the area is due to the Tenneco gas line which passes through this area. Additionally, the Sledge Woods site can be accessed from Kurchian via a trail by the western end of the gas line.
 Both the flora and fauna in this area are quite diverse, and great for observation. Animal tracks are also a frequent sight.
