Robert Frost Trailhead

Hiking Loops: This trail is a National Recreation Trail that commemorates Robert Frost's poetry. Several of his poems are mounted along the trail in the woods and fields. Blueberries, raspberries, and huckleberries grow in an old field at the far end of the trail. The Forest Service maintains the old fields along this trail with prescribed burns to preserve the scenic, open appearance of the area. The trail is an easy walk. The first 0.3 miles crosses a boardwalk over a beaver pond and goes out to the South Branch of the Middlebury River. The boardwalk section is accessible and suitable for wheelchairs. Please practice Leave No Trace ethics, such as carry out what you carry in.
