      The 0.5-mile blue-blazed Burton trail can be safely accessed from behind the softball fields at Ledyard High School. Taking the trail into the woods and toward the road will lead you to Burton Park, commemorating the start of an early settler’s journey west. Taking the trail away from the road will lead you past wetlands and to the Morgan-Billings Cemetery from the early 1700s. A short 0.3-mile yellow trail connects the blue trail with another trailhead on the high school softball field.
