Description
This is the main trail through Sessions Woods WMA. While it is unblazed, it is a wide, gravel doubletrack with relatively easy inclines and descents. This trail also leads to all of the major attractions in this park including both wildlife viewing blinds, the fire tower, and the waterfall on the brook all of which are accessible by way of short spur trails. All the way along there are interpretive displays about wildlife and conservation.
