Description

Starting off in sparse forest, this trail is a smooth, enjoyable way to link nearby trail systems. The gentle trail swoops downhill through a meadow with a burbling brook before entering the forest again. Pop out of the trees at the end of the trail for a view across a wide meadow with an old homestead.

Note: bikes are allowed on this trail.
