Description
This trail is a great introduction to the many trails of the Port Jervis Watershed as you hike along the Brewer's Reservoir lake. This trail connects to the Out N Back trail for an almost (but not quite) loop around Brewer's Reservoir. Therefore, I suggest hiking the Beginners Berm and Out N Back trails, then turning around and doing them in reverse for a delightful 3.0 mile hike. Note: Many online maps, including Google Maps, still show the Brewer's Reservoir lake as Reservoir Number One.
