 | Comments: |
This trail, opened a couple of years ago in the Hebron Town Forest, does not see much traffic -- and thus you're likely to have it all to yourself. It's a nice, quiet walk and a soft (luxurious, even) footbed.
The entire trail, which consists of a short walk from the parking area that leads to a series of three, progressively smaller, connected loops, is about two miles in length and can be done in about 40-50 minutes at a moderate pace. It's marked with yellow blazes, yellow flagging tape, and cairns.
The final (small) loop across granite ledges provides some views west of Jewell Hill and Spruce Ridge (site of a proposed industrial wind farm), and north to Bald Knob and Mount Crosby. |
