This trail breaks off of the Great Esker Trail to the left at about the 1.55 mile mark. The trail starts out at the Boy Scout Bridge which crosses a salt marsh stream. The trail bears left along the shoreline of the marsh and then curves to the right along the Weymouth Back River and eventually ends at the end of the Great Esker Trail.
