Description
A nice buffed out singletrack that switchs back around along the Farmington River edge. This trail starts along the Metacomet Section climb, and the entrance is marked with a hand painted sign. The trail initially heads south along the river, with a couple of places to get off the trail to get an overlook of the river below. Keep your eyes peeled, as you'll be crossing the Metacomet Trail once more before this trail ends.
