Description

This starts off the left side of Beartown State Forest Road, as you're heading towards the campground. It travels along the western edge of Stony Brook Pond, then turns right. It parallels Beartown State Forest Road, then comes up to Long Walk Road. It coincides with Long Walk Road to the left, then veers off to the right just before the Phragmites Reeds. It travels up to Wildcat Shelter over an old road cobbled with ankle-rollers. It turns left, as it almost touches the Wildcat Trail. It stays left and travels through a muddy pass, then climbs up to the height of the hill. It travels through a remote area, then through a Hemlock Forest to Wildcat Trail. It turns right to follow Wildcat Trail, then turns off left. Here, the trail passes by the cellarholes of an old farmstead. The trail continues until it reaches Beartown State Forest Road.
