This is an unmarked trail used commonly by hikers. The start of this trail is difficult to see in the spring and summer when there is abundant plant life; however, there is a cairn on the side of the path (about 50 feet off the path) indicating where it is.

The trail follows a woods road, passing the Lewis Mine entrance just 0.2 miles from the start of the trail. It continues to climb a very nominal grade to 0.8 miles then descends slightly to the junction with Long Path: Section 6.

Rabbits, deer, and a very rare bear can be found here. You'll go past some wetlands, so make sure to bring some insect repellent during the warmer months!
