Description
This trail starts off Roaring Brook Road, near the bridge, and runs easterly. It follows faded blue circle blazes. The trail starts as a doubletrack, then quickly turns to a singletrack after the rocky canyon. Watch your footing on the slick rocks above the gorge. The trail closely follows the edge of the brook over slick rocks. After pushing through Hobblebush and Beech saplings, the trail climbs up between the hills. It ends when it reaches the doubletrack under the same name of Roaring Brook.
