“An old roadbed with an abandoned '57 Rambler station wagon.”

— Nora Velp
GPX File — Driving Directions

Overview

DuPont State Recreational Forest is a very popular multiuse, bi-directional trail system, so be on the lookout for hikers, horses, and bikers. It is normally open in any weather although it can close in extended periods of freeze / thaw during the winter.
Dogs: Leashed

Description

This trail can be done in either direction; however going CCW, you'll come upon the rusted Rambler fairly quick while descending. The trail becomes steep and has a sharp lefthand turn and then climbs for a good distance and through a meadow before returning to the end just above the trail starting point.
