Description
This trail starts off the parking area, off Cummings Hill Road, and heads northward. The trail turns left at the Old Stagecoach Road and runs along the northern edge of the marsh. The trail travels past a few benches with views, then travels over some bog bridges. The trail ends when it crosses over a small footbridge (just below the falls).
