Description

The Blue Trail follows a double lane dirt service road for over a mile as it goes through the relatively wild woods of Mashomack Preserve. It then becomes a normal trail again as it heads south on the bluffs overlooking Gardner's Bay, and passes several salt marshes and tidal ponds. It then heads west for a mile along Northwest Harbor and meets up with the Green Trail.
