This Nature Conservancy trail was in not-so-great shape when I visited in August, 2016. It felt abandoned and unloved! Quite tricky footing in places and overgrown. However, if you do manage to follow the trail, you’ll come to a lovely rocky overlook and some pretty views. The total walk is about 1.2 miles.
Be mindful that as you make your way to the loop at the end end of the spit of land, the trail makes a sharp right close to the loop.
Note that no dogs are allowed here.
Directions: Be careful not to miss the trailhead from the road — it’s very easy to do that. If you’re driving along Hersey Road and you get to Garnet Head Road, you’ve gone too far. The trailhead is at a sharp corner in Hersey Road, and is marked by a very small sign. Parking is on the shoulder of the road.
