The Carse Wetlands Natural Area is 330 acres in size and located in Hinesburg, Vermont adjacent to and east of Baldwin Road. The property is a mix of open agricultural fields, forests, and wetlands including a basin of open water. The wetlands and open water dominate the central portion of the property, isolating the eastern side of the property from the more accessible western portion.  Direct access to the property is along Baldwin Road, south of Burritt Road and immediately south of the VELCO power line crossing. A parking lot on the east side of the road accommodates four vehicles. The eastern side of the property is effectively landlocked and contains a collection of significant ecological features including unusual upland and wetland natural communities and a number of rare plants. A Vermont Electric Company (VELCO) high-tension power line runs through the northern portion of the property. The trail includes a short boardwalk leading out into the core wetland.
