Description
This trail starts off the northern corner of the parking area, then follows a small paved path that skirts around the parking lot. It follows an asphalt walkway to the dirt road that ascends the hill. As it ascends the dirt road, it passes through a gate. You'll pass by the Meadow Trail (on the left) before reaching the Stone Bench Trail. As you approach the hillcrest, the trail turns left towards a row of birches. It crosses the field to the woodline. The trail passes through a gate and reaches the Woodland Trail. The trail continues a bit farther to end at the Nan Path.
