Description

The trails by the high school can be accessed near the soccer fields or from Bloomfield Elementary School. These trails follow mowed paths in the fields and weave in and out of the woods. The Bog Trail leads to a wetland that is great for wildlife viewing. Deer, rabbits, turkey, and fisher have been seen along these trails. In the winter, the high school physical education department offers snowshoeing on a series of snowshoe trails.

Unlike the previous commenter stated, there is no standing water on this trail. There are areas of snow and mud, but you will be completely fine in hiking boots. It's mud season, and it isn't an appropriate time to be mountain biking on any trails in the region.

I went on the trail on my mountain bike and found myself in 1-2 feet of water in certain areas. So if you're planning to go there bring some muck boots, unlike me that wore my sneakers.
