Description
This excellent shortcut is a well-worn footpath that leads directly to Bonticou Crag. It begins at the north end of the Spring Farm parking area. Follow it along a hedgerow. The red marked Crag Trail first intersects Cedar Drive and Spring Farm carriage roads. It continues straight up a small bluff, then back down the other side. It ends at a small pond at the intersection of Cedar Drive and Bonticou Road. It is a fairly straightforward hike, but rocks, roots and a consistent uphill grade make this a more difficult trail for some.
