Description
The Roaring Brook Trail leads you to the side of the brook that is deep within this preserve. It's very rocky and because it is located at the back of the park, this tends to be a more secluded trail. This trail is marked by red markers. The trail tends to be gently rolling until it drops steeply at the end and an intersection with the Ridge Trail.
