Well marked with red metal arrows on trees thru the woods this 2.4 mile point to point trail thru the woods can be extended or shortened using the Blue, Yellow or ADA trails. Trail leaves from a sports field parking lot and heads straight up past large rock outcroppings. Trail is hilly, good for carriers or stable walkers. Lots of roots, rocks and other obstacles on trail.
Extended network of mountain bike trails criss cross the hiking trails so you need to pay attention to following the metal arrows which are frequent and visible.

Currently a Branch Ambassador for the Hartford Branch. We enjoy getting out to our favorite weekly HIB spot with friends and going on family hikes on weekends to check out new places in the area.
