A 2.5-mile loop starts at the Snow Shanty Boat Mooring Area, see a mix of several kinds of oak, maple, healthy hemlocks and spruces, and hundreds of beech sprouts. The often-rocky trail winds through many different terrains, uphill and down, passing from mixed hardwood forests to high-bush blueberries crowding around. Grouse, rabbits, fox, and other small creatures abound here, rustling in the underbrush. A short, steep climb leads to an exposed rock ridge and an otherworldly scene — a rockscape of head-high boulders, dropped and tumbled and left behind with the ebbing of the last glacier.
