Description
Follow the yellow blazes or the faded red ones. This trail provides a connector to the little-used Bearcamp River Trail. The trail starts off the east side of Bunker Hill Road, near the east end of South Shore Trail. It starts through a narrow corridor into the woods and curves right onto a woods road. Follow the woods road right past some shrubby white pines. The trail turns left, here, onto another woods road and crosses over a small bridge. Shortly after the bridge, the trail turns right onto another woods road and continues to the Bearcamp River Trail. It is difficult to see where the Bearcamp River Trail enters from the right, unless there aren't any leaves on the trees. The TCC did some brushwork back in the spring of 2018 to reclaim this trail.
