This trail is part of a snowmobile trail; please watch out for snowmobilers.

This trail starts off a small un-marked parking area, on the south side of Route 2. The trail descends to the low end of the field, following yellow blazes. It passes by Snowmobile Junction RENS 80, before entering the woods.

After passing the blueberry fields, the trail takes a left turn and descends to a lowland swamp. The trail passes through a forest of mixed Spruce, Pine and Hemlocks. It turns right and follows along the Quackenkill; this is a great place to spot waterfowl.

Flora: Phragmites Reeds, Eastern Hemlock, White Pine, Highbush Blueberry, Hawthorn, Cattail, Grey Birch, White Birch.
Fauna: Black-Capped Chickadee, ducks.
