Trail Overview
This trail skirts the edge of a very marshy section of the Housatonic River. This trail is mostly flat, with some large dried-up mud holes and a few washed-out sections. 4WD is not necessary, though a higher-clearance vehicle is needed to avoid bottoming out. Multiple kayak and canoe launch sites dot the side of the trail, in addition to numerous access points for other October Mountain multi-use trails. Just keep an eye out for wildlife, especially the moss-covered turtles.
