Description

A less-traveled offshoot of the Naugatuck (Blue) Trail system connecting Sanford Rd (Woodbridge, limited parking) to Chelsea Circle (Bethany, subdivision, limited parking). Travels through forest and some scrub, mostly uphill in that direction, becoming steeper towards the northern end. Overgrown in places but easy to follow from the blazes. Nice rock outcropping in the latter portion.

Flora & Fauna

Some scrub with thorns, a decent number of mosquitos.
