Description
Easy to follow, mowed grassy path that follows the wetland ponds and forest but is primarily through grasslands. Starting in the parking lot, follow the Komomo Wetland Trail past the pond to a well-marked intersection, turn to the left. Continue around the edge of the grassland, bear right and go through a small section of woods to another grassland area. The wetlands overlook is to the right and the longer trail that connects to the Sugar Maple Trail is to the left. The intersection is well marked. Follow a meadow along the woods, and make a sharp left at the end of the trees and along another meadow. You should be able to see the Historic Farm barn from the glacier boulder marker. Turn left into the woods, where it was very muddy, towards Sugar Maple Trail where the trail terminates.
