This trail starts from the parking area on Lakeshore Drive and runs past the sign for Webb Forest. It turns left at the kiosk and follows along with Cocoa's Path. At the junction with Pingree Connector, the trail stays right to pass beneath some powerlines. The trail travels moderately up to an old chimney and a bridge, where the trail crosses over the brook. As it climbs along the brook, it passes by a small spur with an interpretive sign. This sign describes the hardships of early settlers and overlooks the cellarhole of the Hayes Place. The trail climbs along a cascade, that's probably more impressive when NH isn't experiencing drought. The trail turns left and follows along the border of the ponds to Old Poor Road. The end point of this trail seems random (in the woods), but it appears that it ends at the Wilmot/Springfield boundary.
