About This Trail

Imported description

The main trail goes from the Community Garden to the woods on the left side of the Renters' Garden entry lane. They head into the woods around the wetlands and end up in the first meadow. The first meadow has a stone bench dedicated to the first volunteer steward, Annie Simpson. The trails go beyond the field and go through a second meadow and some mixed pine woods. There are several spur trails that go down a narrow ridge to a stream. There is no legal access to the PanAm/Amtrak rail line.
