Snowshoed through here in the winter. Definitely has narrow landings, but I imagine the creek would be pretty in the summer.

Follows along a scenic little babbling brook. Both landings, as well as the 2 sections where the trail crosses the brook, are exceedingly rocky. Otherwise, the rest of the trail isn't too bad.

Short but very difficult. The landings on either side are two of the worst I've had to deal with. It is impossible to do without wet-footing. There is a board that is used to cross the small stream, but it is thin, wobbly, and slippery. The board is just resting on a couple of rocks, so it would be very easy to slip and fall - be careful.
