This trail starts off the west side of Beartown Mountain Road, just south of the parking area. It climbs through an eroded chute up to Beartown Mountain Trail. It passes by a few cellarholes, then through a hemlock grove. The trail runs through a flat area of mud slurry. It climbs over some rocky areas, then arrives at the Wildcat Shelter. The trail descends to Beartown State Forest Road, where it ends.
