Description
The Blaisdell‑Emery Trail begins near Owens Way in South Bradford and travels south to the Main Street trailhead in Lewis Run, following an abandoned railroad corridor. This easy, multi-use route parallels Tunungwant Creek (Tuna Creek) through a mix of forested areas and open clearings. The crushed-stone surface stays generally flat, making it suitable for walking, biking, and cross-country skiing in winter. The route features several bridge crossings and frequent creek views as it winds through a quiet valley. With no major junctions to navigate, it offers a direct, year-round option for non-motorized recreation. This is a simple, accessible trail with steady creekside scenery throughout.
