Benson Mines Newton Falls Road

This short connector in the Star Lake area links the historic Benson Mines industrial corridor with Newton Falls Road, covering just a tenth of a mile. The route follows what was once part of the extensive railroad and road network serving the defunct Benson Mines operation, now absorbed into the surrounding woodland. It's more of a functional link between two larger routes than a destination in itself.
