This is a bit of a funny walk. The kiosk is at the far end of a field and not along the road. You need to be careful not to block access roads to the leased farmland.
Once you find the 0.7-mile one-way trail, it quickly takes you to and along the pretty Seawards Mills Stream. It was a bit unclear to me where the path ended, but I think you are meant to walk along the edge of the field and back along the road to your car.
Parking is along the edge of the Seaward Mills Road, 0.2 mile east of the intersection of the Cross Hill Road and Seaward Mills Road.
In May, you might see alewives migrating to their freshwater spawning grounds in (I think?) Webber Pond.
Directions: From Route 201 travel east on the Webber Pond Road for a mile. Turn right on Hannaford Hill Road and go 2.1 miles to Cross Hill Road. Turn left and travel north for 1.6 miles to the Seawards Mills Road. Turn right; parking is along the road after 0.2 miles. A KLT sign and registration box mark the trail head at the edge of the field and woods.
