The easiest path to follow to access the quiet estuary of Redding Creek is off Staples Point Road. This one-way, 0.6-mile trail starts out on a wide track, so is pretty obvious. Although the trail in unmarked, it is easy to follow, and it takes you down to a beautiful spot on the creek, with houses on the opposite bank. The land belongs to the New England Forestry Foundation, a gift from the Arnold family.
Directions: Starting at exit 17 on Rt. 295, follow Rt. 1 north for 1.2 miles to South Freeport Road. Turn right onto South Freeport Road, and follow it north for .7 miles to Staples Point Road. Turn right onto Staples Point Road, and follow it for .7 miles. Once you see a small sign for the forest on the right, look for two small areas to park on the right, one on Staples Point Road, the other on Foggs Point Road.
