I should have read everything. I seen it rated as an easy hiking trail and went. It is a horse trail and although there are signs that say no motor vehicles, there have been lots of stuck vehicles back there. Lost my shoes a few times and went unprepared for a difficult trail. Bug netting for your head is strongly recommended as I felt like I was going blind from blinking bugs. Parts of the trail are washed up or missing all together.
Would have been fun if I was prepared, knew the trail, and wasn't struggling with a dog leash. Good horse trail though!! Never again. Buggy, not well marked, and it was like I went on a mud run 5k. Do you like endless fields of blooming poison ivy? How about mud so deep you loose your shoes?
What about trails that vanish into nowhere? If this fulfills the adventurer in you by all means Would not recommend for a family outing This trail is well, terrible. Its close to impossible to follow because it's not well marked in so many areas. I'm going to assume it was extra muddy because all of the snow melted and it hasn't been long enough to solidify. I was calf deep in mud in some areas and the mud was so thick my shoe came off.
So definitely the wrong time of year for this trail. Back to the trail markers. So you will definitely want to download the map. Also, this is a hunting area, so wear bright colors. Beautiful but horribly taken care of. Could barely tell where the trail was if at all. Use Navigator in the AllTrails app and join the 24 other outdoor explorers who have completed this trail.

In pioneer times, the beech-maple belt was extensive and stretched from Mansfield to Pennsylvania, owing to the favorable climate and winter snow cover of the area.
