Running

The New England National Scenic Trail turns to Metacomet Trail just south of Newton Brainard Forest. From here, Metacomet Trail continues on past Heart Meadow, Garden Wall, and to Killkenny Rocks. This portion of the trail passes through the trees and over rocks and roots. It is relatively flat with a gentle incline or decline depending on your direction. You won't regret including this section to your itinerary!
