Overall a good trail. There are some areas that are private property so there were a few spots to turn around
Definitely not well marked, and part of the indicated trail goes through private property that has a sign for no dogs.
Trail is VERY buggy and not well marked at all. Easy to get lost and wander into private property.
Lovely trail but not clearly marked and easy to (accidentally) enter private property
Good to get out. Trail not well marked. Lots of rocks and roots.
Great place if you feel like becoming lost. There are a few trail markers at the start: to and from the beginning. Then, none. Not one throughout the area. We saw what we thought was a marker, but it was on a tree in the middle of a copse. No trail nearby. What trails there are are nice and wide, Very thankful for All Trails or we would still be lost. Avoid it unless you have a well-powered phone with this app.
Needed the trail map to navigate. An easy hike, but the trail leads you into private property which is a bit confusing.
Went mid January. Parking lot with easy access to trails. It is well maintained and decently marked. Are many connecting trails so use map to make sure you know what your connecting to and can make it a loop. Stopped in at RI Mass marker and a few geocaches out there. Better part of hike is after you cross electric lines. Enjoy.
I took my dog for a walk here this evening and loved it. I got a bit lost and went off to different trails from what I originally intended to do. With that being said, very scenic paths and mostly well maintained. There were some horse poo on the trails here and there. it was somewhat buggy, but that is expected of time and the area. I would recommend this!
