Description
This trail follows blue blazes (when they're present). The blazes and maintenance are very poor for this trail. It starts by branching off the northeast corner of the Bradley Farm Trail and rises north. It crosses over Rockwell Road and keeps heading northward. It passes over some bog bridges (near the pond), then crosses over the beaver dam (if you want to keep your feet dry). It passes by the Rounds Rock Trail (on the right). The trail ascends a roller coaster of ups and downs to its end at the Jones Nose Trailhead Parking.
