A series of rest areas inviting you to stop and enjoy the surrounding scenery can be found throughout the trail. Parking is located at Grant’s Pond, Crandall Road and the Recreation Grounds. Look for the trail signs at these entry points – with helpful orientation signage featured along the trail system.
