 | Parking/Access Road Notes: |
There is one space in front of the gate. No signs telling you not to park there, but I am so used to the Whites it just didn't feel right. So I parked on a neighboring side street. There are other entry points to this property, street parking is allowed. Bordering school, also |

Small brook is bridged. |

 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
One blowdown. Signage is great. One note- sign on Mill st entrance shows a different color for the loop going to the mill area. Metal arrows are actually blue. Thanks! |
|
 | Dog-Related Notes: |
Leash your dog. Trail borders a lot of backyards. Proud to say, no doggy bags were left. The one dog I saw was with one of my former customers (retired recently from the post office there). |

First of all, big shout out to several Burlington Eagle Scouts for physical maintenance and map making.
Used to pass the entrance on my way home from work to avoid rush hour. Always wanted to check it out. Did most of it while a family member was at the Lahey Clinic.
Nice forest, gas line cuts through at one point. Trail eventually leads to another conservation trail behind the Foxhill School. Terrain varies, a few elevated spots. Intention was to walk to the sawmill area, but time was cut short.
Enjoying Liam's MA reports, he'll have to check this one out! |
