Brook Trail is the primary access trail to the Sawmill trail network from Colonel Lavalley Lane. It runs to the right along the fence of the Army National Guard post and eventually connects to the Old Telephone line at the junction of Wildside, Upper Trail and Upper Middle Earth. About half way along it's length it connects to Ice Houce at a branch near a fire pit on Jeep Eater. The upper portion of the trail runs along a seasonal brook to its right. There is a mild rock garden after the trail crosses Jeep Eater. There are two nice bridges near the start of the trail. As blue rated trails go Brook is one of the easier trails within Sawmill.
