Description
You may have to access this trail via the suspension bridge. If starting from the Blackington Mill side, the trail descends a set of wooden stairs through the tunnel. It follows a length of bog-bridging, then passes by the West Spur (on the right). The trail arcs left (following the Hoosic River), to the Suspension Bridge (on the right). Continue (following the Hoosic River) and stay right (at the next trail junction). The trail travels through a thicket of Privet, Honeysuckle, and Multiflora Rose. The trail climbs up to a small hill and stays right. Here, the trail follows the edge of the river, until arcing around to the railroad tracks.
