Description
This road, technically, starts from the first parking area or the edge of the property. The first parking area may be inaccessible during the winter or too muddy (in the spring). There is a post, with a missing sign, to let you know that you've entered Berlin State Forest. In a short distance from entering the boundary of the forest, there'll be a large parking area (on the right). Continue straight, following the road, past another road on the right. The road/trail continues through the Cowdry Hollow Swamp to a dead end.
