A 1.3-mile linear trail follows an old railroad bed along the river and includes an interesting bridge. The walk can be extended in the opposite direction along Hanover Pond and behind the high school.

REMEMBER: Follow basic hiking guidelines: Wear good shoes, bring water and simple first aid kit, plus a copy/phone photo of trail map. Check the weather ahead of time, if you go alone, let others know where/when you’re going. All participation is at your own risk. Find a nearby restaurant or ice cream shop to reward yourself after your hike!
