This trail has more of an upstate feel than most of Long Island's trails, with more rocks and few flat areas. It is becoming more flowy as the tread sets and berms are added. There are plenty of thorns and ticks.

Access Info

The main loop at Overton is accessible from four points: 1. A connector from Glacier Ridge that ties into Loop One, 2. A parking lot on the east side of Rte 112, north of the connector and at the traffic light for Paul's Path, 3. On Mill Rd (this is the starting point on this map), and 4. A parking lot on Granny Rd.
