Description
The start of this trail (from Clinton Road) can be very wet after rain or snow melt and, in many spots, is a rocky tough hike. Follow the yellow blazes past a swamp area that is typically full of water with several beaver houses. There are not many views along this trail. It ends at the Terrace Pond Circular Trail. This is an alternate route to the pond to avoid crowds as many take the Terrace Pond North Trail from the same trailhead.
