Our trail is accessible to all, offering a wide, gravel path with minor hills, making it suitable for hikers, bikers, and those in wheelchairs with some assistance. Whether you choose to explore on foot or by bike, you'll enjoy breathtaking scenery, from shaded woodlands to open fields, reminiscent of the landscapes from the 1700s. Please note that parking is available at both ends of the trail, providing convenience for your visit.

As you embark on your journey, don't miss the historical markers and sites, including the Hartwell Tavern and the Nathan Meriam House. For a complete experience, consider starting your adventure at Fiske Hill or Meriam’s Corner, where restroom facilities are available.
