| Walking directions: |
 |
From the parking lot (a place
named Lamson Field), take the alley under
the trees |
|
Turn left at the next intersection;
walk through the stone wall and into the
adjacent field, the Great Pasture |
|
Walk by another stone wall
and turn right on the larger trail towards
the farm |
|
Take the bridge over the railroad
to reach the farm; you can first turn left
towards Patch and Underhill Fields, where
farm animals can usually be seen. A small
wooded hill on the left and a smaller meadow
make for a nice setting at the far end of
this section |
|
Once you reach the end of
the trail, retrace your steps towards the
farm, and continue past the buildings on
the large trail |
|
When you reach the road and
the end of the trail, come back and take
the left trail at the fork to enter the
forest |
|
Continue straight at the first
intersection, and then twice right at the
next two forks; you will soon reach the
farm again, and take the bridge over the
railroad to come back to the parking lot |
|
Once closer to Lamson Field,
you can explore the wooded Appleton Grass
Ride; make sure you have a map as trails
in the area can be confusing; if necessary,
go back to the parking lot to pick one |
|
Instead of turning right to
take the alley under the trees to go back
to your car, turn left and continue all
the way down the trail; turn right at the
end |
|
Turn left at the following
intersection to reach the Round Point, a
clearing with a small stone monument (orient
yourself by checking where you come from,
since 6 trails converge there) |
|
Take the first trail on your
right, then the second trail on your right
as you get closer to the road |
|
Continue down the trail until
its end; then turn left to reach the stone
wall beside the Great Pasture |
|
Turn left again to walk back
to the parking lot |
