About this Location

Rattlesnake Gutter Conservation Area was purchased for the town in 1990 with the help of the fund-raising efforts of the Friends of the Rattlesnake Gutter. (It was this Friends group that later became the Rattlesnake Gutter Trust.) This 40-acre property is the heart of The Gutter.

Walking Rattlesnake Gutter and the surrounding road has been a favorite outing for many years.

The Gutter section of the road is closed to vehicles. Walkers can stay on the road or can take the Loop Trail that goes north over a ridge to the discontinued Whitney and Cave Hill Roads (with inviting side trails). The Loop Trail comes out at the junction of Old Cave Hill and Rattlesnake Gutter Roads just below the lower gate. Or you can go the other way on Whitney Road up to Rattlesnake Hill, the trail is directly across from the Loop Trail. See Rattlesnake Gutter Area Trail Map.
