The trail begins on a discontinued road, and meanders through riparian habitat, dense fir forests, black cherry flood plains, grassy fields, and hemlock groves. Historic mills and homestead foundations are evidence of old settlements. Beaver activity along Main Stream may be seen in the gnawed tree trunks, dams, and lodges. Woodcock, partridge, deer, coyotes, and even bears also inhabit this remote preserve.
The main (blue) trail travels 0.6 miles to the loop (red) trail on the left. The loop circles 0.3 miles before meeting back up with the main trail. Another 0.1 miles along the main trail leads to a view point of the stream. A complete hike of the main trail out to the view point, around the loop, and back again, makes for a distance of 1.6 miles.
