About This Trail

This 5.7-mile loop traverses the rolling countryside of Malabar Farm State Park, the working farm and former home of Pulitzer Prize-winning author Louis Bromfield. The trail passes through mixed forest and open meadows with a waterfall along the route. Expect muddy sections and creek crossings, especially where clay soils hold moisture after rain.
