A 29-acre parcel purchased from T. Eric and Joyce E. Blomfelt in 1978, on the east side of Ayer Road about half a mile north of Route 2, running east to Glenview Drive. The out-and-back trail crosses a wet meadow, climbs through tall pines and boulders, and steepens near a ball field; it functions as a connector between residential Ayer Road/Glenview Drive and the Holy Hill trail system when extended across Ann Lee Road. Not suitable for horses in the wet areas or over the bridge.
