Need to Know

Hunting is permitted on BNRC property; please wear the appropriate clothing. Watch out for underground hornets' nests.

Description

This trail follows blue blazes. From the trailhead parking at Fountain Pond, the trail travels moderately around a small hill to a junction. Take the trail left over the newly created log bridges. The trail climbs the ridge, then turns right on a large switchback. It travels with some minor ups and downs below the ridgeline.

Eventually, the trail leaves DCR property and runs into the BNRC property (Google maps and the actual boundaries vary). The trail arcs right and descends down towards the Berkshire South Regional Community Center. The trail passes by a few tent platforms before it comes out to an open field.

*The satellite base map layer shows these tent platforms as AT Thru-hiker camping, which doesn't really make sense since the AT isn't connected to this trail.
