Description
Largely flat 1.3 mile loop through the woods, a nice offshoot of the Naugatuck (Blue) Trail between Woodbridge and West Rock Ridge (to which it connects via a steep climb on RWA property). Slightly muddy right after a storm but generally well maintained dirt track with a few fallen trees to pass over.
