Hadlock Loop from Carriage Road

This ride starts and ends with a rather difficult hill but most of the ride is fun and easy. You will ride over three bridges, one of which includes views of a beautiful waterfall. You will also pass Hadlock pond. It’s a beautiful ride. We liked it so much that we decided to do the loop a second time. We parked in the Parkman Mountain parking lot. At the park sign follow the sign to #13 (right). When you get to post #13 turn left. This is the worst part of the ride. My four year old had to walk his bike and I was glad to have an excuse to walk with him. The good news is that it doesn’t last long. When you reach post #12 turn right again. Continue to turn right when you get to posts #19 and #18. Shortly after the third bridge you will hit one more section of hill before you return to post #13. Once you get to #13 turn left to head back to the parking lot. The parking lot is small and fills up quick but there is plenty of room to park your car along the highway if it’s full. Despite a busy parking lot the trail itself wasn’t crowded at all.
