Wonderful trail linking the towns of Derby and Branxholm via the Valley Pond.

The trail is mostly in good condition and is rideable on a touring bike or hybrid, but it definitely has some of Derby's MTB DNA in there and if you were riding this, or even bikepacking, on a mountain bike there are some fun features you could potentially hit. Perhaps not with a pannier setup though.

The Valley Pond is a beautiful spot to stop at with a picnic bench that will make for an amazing place to have lunch.

Two picnic tables, on either side, one in sun, good in Winter, one in shade, good in summer
