 Lob's Pound Mill is a historical site located in the north west part of town, next to the Town Forest. It can be accessed off of Mill St., next to a big light brown farm house. A large red sign on the right clearly marks the entrance. This site also has the added distinction of being the only site accessable by canoe, since the Ipswich River flows into Lob's Pond.
As you go through a narrow path, you will come to an opening and see the remains of the old mill. All around you will see tall grass and to the left you can see a retention wall. If you go 50 feet farther you can see Lob's pond. If you go left towards a bridge you will see a small waterfall under the bridge. If you go towards the pond you will find a path that is to right of the pond and it is about 50 feet long.
 The area has an adequate fishing spot and a open picnic area. The trails are all relatively short, but are nonetheless nice to wander around in. There is a great deal of wildlife, including birds and squirrels at Lob's Pound Mill.
