Description

The southern part of Section 15 was partially relocated, helping to close a 20+ mile gap.  The trail is cleared and marked from Wendell Depot Road to MA Rt. 2 (Farley Village). The trail gradually descends into Wendell State Forest, passing Ruggles Pond, Lyons Brook, and Mormon Hollow Brook, on its way  MA Rt. 2 (“Farley Village”). Much of this section lies inside Wendell State Forest on the south slope of the Millers River Valley. A state owned shelter is located in this section. It is used on a first-come, first-serve basis.
