The route is 1.1 miles long, with a one-way climb of 157 feet from a starting elevation of 230 feet to a high point of 282 feet.

Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Norwich show May highs around 70°F and September highs around 76°F, while July peaks near 84°F and January highs sit around 38°F. The Blue Trail and Red Trail both start within a quarter mile, and Casey's Trail is about 2 miles away. Paddlers can reach the East Branch Eightmile River, roughly 2.3 miles off.
