Tree of Life Trail, Farmington

This short, wide, easy 1-mile trail — I think it is okay for wheelchairs and strollers — must be nice for people to walk along after visiting patients. Or perhaps convalescing people can walk it as well? I am not sure I’d go out of my way to hike this, but it is a pleasant stroll — an easy, gentle path through woods.

Directions: Turn into the Franklin Memorial Hospital at the intersection of Routes 133 and 2. I think the easiest place to catch the trail is to continue along the road that circles the hospital campus to the back parking lot. You’ll see the trail and a sign on the left side, if you’re facing away from the hospital buildings.
