Trail Descriptions

Wiggins Trail

Wiggins Trail is a popular trail that runs south to north and is blazed with red squares. Enter at the McKay-Sodergren Entrance in the Forest Road neighborhood or at the Mann Entrance at 75 Pine Street (across from the old Fire Tower). This trail enters Braintree just after the High T's, and from there you can make your way to Cranberry Pond.

Long Trail

Long Trail is perhaps the most varied and scenic of all the trails, and begins at 255 Pine Street, at the Carolyn Long Entrance. It is blazed with blue circles. You travel east until crossing Wiggins Trail, and eventually proceed south until you rejoin Wiggins. A nice loop is made if you walk back up Wiggins (headed north) until picking up Long Trail again on your left.

Elfin Pond Trail

Elfin Pond Trail begins a short way down Wiggins trail, to the right. It is marked with yellow squares, and circles Elfin Pond, a large certified vernal pool.

Boundary Trail

Boundary Trail is marked with orange circles. It begins at the Mann entrance at 75 Pine Street. It travels past Elfin Pond.

Sawyer Trail

Sawyer Trail is blazed with white triangles, and Estes Way is blazed with orange squares. Both connect the Long Trail to the Elfin Pond Trail.

Diman Trail

Diman Trail runs off of the Long Trail, before you reach Wiggins. It is marked with yellow diamonds, and if you follow it north toward the high T's there is a scenic spot to rest.
