A new one - rail trail in Hancock - found by our friend Faith. A nice sunny day. We started from the east entrance.
Near the start are some of the old rails
Many of the old ties are still present
A little further along we crossed a small bridge and causeway that gave views toward the Skillings River
and of Old Pond
Near the west end the trail leaves the rail bed and goes through a wet area up to the parking lot where we turned back to return the way we came.
There was lots of interesting stone along the way

Not a lot of people- we met a couple coming out as we started, a man with two dogs at the west end, and two women with a dog near the end. The walking had been easy and the day very pleasant. 3 hours
That looks like a great trail. Cool to see old rail still in the ground. Looks like Kelley had a couple good doggy companions too! Love the photo of you giving all the dogs treats.
ReplyDeleteThanks for commenting, Linda- I think we all had a good time- there was lots of water for Kelley- I'm sure Faith will appreciate that you liked her picture
