Singletrack hiking-primary trail along the eastern side of Ryerson Brook. Mostly natural tread, with minimal rockwork and benching improvements locally. Easy to moderate difficulty at north end, with some more difficult rocky sections near the south end. Pretty views along the brook. Active beaver around the halfway point.

Access Info

Trailheads are beside the bridge on Prescesky, and beside the bridge on Green Connector.

reporter Lots of work done on this trail in 2024. Still rough at the top (south end) and definitely a hiking trail, but a pleasant trail along Ryerson Brook.
