This route starts at Gene Shepard Park next to the Tennis cages. It looks hidden but there is a little sign. We took the route to yates (pretty shady but some open areas and an overgrown spot) and then back from yates and took a split where we went to the end of that trail and returned back to the original route back to the park. Its a beautiful little nature trail where we saw a turtle, dragon flies galore, squirrels, frogs, chipmunk, and a mysterious creature in the water.
