Undulating singletrack with a few medium to large rock rolls. Climbs are typically buffed out, but flat sections are full of Rockland's signature chunk. More feature-heavy on the northern half.
Could be biked in both directions in a pinch, but preference is definitely toward a counterclockwise loop, especially for the features on the north side.
For hikers, this portion of the trail is blazed Blue as part of the Mattabesett / New England Trail and incorporated into the route from Long Island Sound & Middletown to the New Hampshire border.
