My favorite trails: outer loops are more interesting
Trail marking: Very good
Rating: 2 stars
What I liked: Scenery is lovely & there are nice rocks for a picnic at Beaver Pond at the end of the loop.
What I disliked: Trails are old development roads which have suffered serious washouts and no maintenance. You need at least 1 foot of snow to keep from grounding on the rocks.
