Blue Pot is a new trail constructed by the BETA Trail Crew and local Elizabethtown volunteers in June 2021.

The upper section departs from the lower section near the Wreath/Bronson Rd. intersection and climbs steadily up the hill side across a series of rocky terraces until it reaches the intersection with Cabin trail and the bottom of Joel's trail. About 2/3 of the way up the climb, a side trail splits off near a large boulder and brings you up to an old stone and log cabin on the eastern end of Cabin trail.
