Two miles away, the quiet surface of Lilli Pond mirrors the sky, while the nearby rush of Buttermilk Falls provides a persistent, rhythmic counterpoint to the stillness of the surrounding woods. To the west, the managed greenery of Hudson, City of Land offers a boundary where the wilder, unkempt thickets meet the deliberate order of human cultivation.
