The trail begins with a climb up to an overlook offering views over the Sheepscot River valley, all the way to Ragged Mountain and the Camden hills, including Mt. Battie, to the east. There is also a granite tower here that the landowners have erected as a sundial. It is just under a mile to this viewpoint from the trailhead. The trail then continues into the forest 0.2 miles to a wooded 1.2 mile loop. The blazed trail oftentimes follows along old woods roads.
This trail is on private property, on which Midcoast Conservancy holds a conservation easement. The landowner has generously opened the trail for public use. Please stay on trails and respect the landowner’s privacy.
