| About Us |

Welcome to the Nimrod League of Holden sportsmen's club!
The Nimrod League of Holden was established in 1923 to promote, protect, and perpetuate
hunting, fishing, and trapping with equal rights for all, special privileges to none,
and strict observance of the fish and game laws of this Commonwealth.
Located on Coal Kiln Road in Princeton, Massachusetts, the club occupies 450 picturesque
acres of land that straddles the border of Holden and Princeton, MA. The terrain of the land varies from hardwood to conifer forest, including
fields, swamp, laurel, rolling hills, and rocky ledge. There are networks of trails that
intersect the property that can be used for hiking, camping, and ATV riding (club members only).
The land is host to many species including deer, turkey, fox, coyote, moose, bobcat, hare,
grouse, pheasant, and more.
As a non-profit organization the Club is maintained through the volunteer efforts of it's members.
