No matter the time of the year you hike, carry everything you need with you. Bring plenty of water; dress for the weather, and let someone know where you’ll be.
All Trails/Linda and Butch Marold The Tiverton Land Trust warns there are no services in the conservation area, so be prepared when you set off.
The trail can get really muddy, even more so after rain or snow, so keep that in mind before setting off. Summertime means bugs and a lot of them.

What you won’t find along the trail are dogs as they’re not allowed. Chances are you won’t run into many people either; this trail tends to be quite quiet, making it perfect if you want some alone time.

The highlight of the trail, is, undoubtedly, the large boulders you’ll pass along the way.

While it’s not technically a rock maze, you’ll have to navigate around rocks and tree roots that might make you think you’ve entered a maze. Pay attention as you walk, so you don’t trip.
