This easy 1.4-mile hike begins at the parking lot on Route 90 in Rockport. The trail starts by crossing a bridge that spans a small brook, passes flower and vegetable gardens, open fields, and then loops through a mixed woods forest. Along the way watch and listen for the numerous warblers that make their home here.
