Main Trail
A Hard, Low Stress 1.8 mile walking trail
This is a wooded walking trail heading west from Rt 52 with downhill grades. It continues in a small loop to return back to the trail.
​
Universal Access (UA): While running grades meet UA standards for about a quarter mile, cross-grades and obstacles within the first 200 yards currently exceed UA standards.
​
​Effort: This 1.8 mile walking trail has a Flat Equivalent Length of 2.2 miles. The entire trail merits an Overall Grade Rating of Hard instead of Easy because of 3 30' difficult uphill sections. Heading east, grades shift from Flat to Very Easy after about.28 miles, to Easy after .58 miles, and to Hard after .75 miles. The longest continuous grades are as follows: 50' of Easy-Moderate uphill grades, 50' of Moderate uphill grades, and 40' of Difficult uphill grades in the first half, and then 180' of Easy uphill grades on the return. Click the map below for more detailed information.
​
Stress: This is a natural wooded trail that is mostly flat, firm, at least 3' wide (with occasionally grassy sections that function as passing spaces) and relatively even with no major obstructions along 90% of its length. Perhaps 10% of sections will be stressful for some users because of the following: cross-grades that exceed 5% (and sometimes 10%); patches of soft surface (especially after a rain); width narrowing to 18" or less because of overgrowth in sunnier spots; some rocks / roots / ruts 2-4" high or deep, and occasionally greater than 4")
​
Other features: This is a generally quiet trail. It is marked on maps as currently closed to the public, though many do use it.
Connections: You can continue on to the Southern Spurl to add about .5 miles to your total walk
