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.

Status Reports

there's one deep puddle close to the steep hill that's pretty deep on the left side. but my stock forester went through without issues

The sign read road closed but plenty of vehicles using the road. Some puddles but they are shallow with no obstructions. People driving through with EV Subarus . One small rock area that you need a little clearance. I went through with a stock 4Runner in 2WD.
