Abbots Bridge Trail

Start by the boat ramp. Looking to the left of the "check the flow..." and "lifejackets save lives" sign, you'll see the dirt path of the trail clearly winding up into the woods. This will take you into the trees right along the river heading southwest. Almost immediately, you'll see a couple of large old-growth oak trees on your left. Continuing on, the trail stays by the river and is completely flat for about 0.3 miles, then begins a short jog to the left (south) around a ravine and then back to the right, hugging the ravine all the while. After this, at about 0.4 miles, the trail becomes overgrown and impassable. You'll have to begin your return journey here. On your way back, when you get to the point of the ravine bend, you can also go right instead of turning left back towards the river. This takes you through a few hundred yards of thin, young woods before ending at a clearing near a soccer field. Head back to reconnect with the main trail and follow the way you came back to the boat ramp. The entire trail including the extension to the ball field is around one mile round-trip.
