Two trails are open to the public. Both are maintained, well marked with plastic diamonds and both finish back at the parking lot. The 1.95 mile Shady Brook Trail (blue diamonds) stays in the northern two-thirds of the property while the 3.0 mile Escarpment Trail (yellow diamonds) visits the southern boundary area. Both run together until reaching Shady Brook hence both yellow and blue diamonds are present on the trees on those sections.
