Gulf Brook Trail

A short woodland walk through state forest land, this trail follows blue disk blazes for just over a kilometer and a half. Maintained by the Department of Environmental Conservation, the route is reported to offer a quiet introduction to the backcountry, though its modest length suggests it may serve as a connector or access path within the larger trail system. The going is generally straightforward, and the trail sees enough use to remain passable without being heavily trafficked.
