Description
Access to this trail is from the Storrow Pond Trail (north terminus) or Strawberry Hill Trail (south terminus). The trail is very manageable traversing mostly level land on singletrack trail. The trail splits off the Strawberry Hill Trail (yellow blazes) and has a brief uphill climb through a very narrow section of trail canopied by low hanging pine branches. The only notable descent on the trail is very brief but does require sure footing given the loose rock and root-studded trail. About half way there is a large stone boulder wall indicating the boundary of the park. Towards the end of the trail, you'll see to your immediate right, about five feet away, the Storrow Pond Trail which parallels you for a brief stretch. You connect into the Storrow Pond Trail a quarter mile later.
