The Arnold Trail provides an alternate access to the Bicentennial Trail from Nathaniel Drive over a trail easement on private property. The section from Nathaniel Drive to Cricket Crossing is steep, with a set of granite steps down from the roadbed...unpleasant riding. When you reach the top of Cricket Hill and the Arnold Loop, there are limited views to Walnut Hill.
