Henry Stimson Trail

A brief woodland walk maintained by the state, this two-kilometer route follows red disk blazes through terrain that offers a modest introduction to the region's forested character. The trail is said to provide a manageable outing for those with limited time or ambition, though its particular features and terminus are not widely documented. What it lacks in drama it may compensate for in quiet accessibility, serving as one of the less-traveled threads in the area's network of marked paths.
