French Settlement Road.

This 0.8-mile unpaved road makes for an easy out-and-back when you want movement without commitment. The surface is old roadbed, not singletrack, so you won't be scrambling over roots or picking your way through blowdown. It's the kind of walk that works for an evening stretch or a warm-up before something bigger. Don't expect solitude or views—expect exactly what it is: a short, flat walk on dirt.
