Emmet WoodsTRAIL INFORMATIONTrails are marked with yellow and blue plastic disks. Blue indicates you are moving away from the entrance, yellow returns you to the entrance. Most trails are smooth but there are some exposed boulders and roots. Slopes are mainly gradual and short. Portions of the trail may be wet in early spring or after heavy rainfalls. Trail locations and distances are defined by a combination of GPS and old maps and may not match other GPS unit readings.

Access Trail (0.17 miles) This trail provides access to the Emmet Woods trails network.

Alan Emmet Loop Trail (1.2 miles) This loop encircles the trail network and provides access to the Folly and Hermit Thrush Trails and enables you to determine different trail routes. It passes Cave Rock, an interesting glacial boulder and, for the most part, travels through a pleasant oak hardwood forest interspersed by stone walls.

Folly Trail (0.27 miles) This north-south trail bisects the center of the trail network. Look for the Folly, an ornamental structure used in landscape architecture that often represents ancient ruins.

Hermit Thrush Trail (0.28 miles) An east-west trail that also bisects the trail network. A bench is located at its intersection with the Folly Trail. Portions of this trail travel adjacent to a stone wall.
