This is a tight single track, with some (or lotsa depending upon point of view) roots at the beginning.You guessed it. The Museum Loop trailhead is somewhat near the finish of Hedge Row. When you come out of the Hedge Row trail, you will be in a field. Cross the field to the road and go left (on the road). The road ends (about 0.2 miles) in a T with another road. Cross the cross road across the grass into the woods (if you're not too cross to ride).
