I am not sure I actually found this trail! But you can find a snowmobile track to walk down, if you start behind the Oquossoc Grocery Store. Follow this multiuse trail for about about half a mile before it splits. If you take the left path, you’ll come to wetlands bordering the lake, if you go right, you’ll come to a pretty river and bridge.
At the far end of the bridge, you’ll see a kiosk, a picnic table, and nice short trail along the river.
This trail seemed a little unloved when I visited, even while it has great promise.
Directions: Drive down Hatchery Road, behind Oquossoc Grocery, and you’ll see a pull off on your left. You can also park at the other end of the trail, on Indian Point Road off of Route 16. The final hill up this dirt road to the parking area can be eroded and quite hard on low-clearance cars. In this case, there is room at the bottom to leave your vehicle.
