Description
From the parking lot for Rocky Woods Reservation, the trail begins as a spur from the Loop Trail. The terrain is doubletrack with soil and some rock. As the trail approaches Echo Pond, it begins to rise. At the crest of the hill is the pond as well as Echo Pond North Shore Trail. Continuing on Echo Pond Trail, the trail runs alongside, and practically in, the pond as it makes its way past. The trail finishes with a level and smooth section ending at East and West Trail.
