Caroline Arnold Trail

The Caroline Arnold Trail is 0.4 miles one-way that leads from the Station Rd Norwottuck Rail Trail parking lot to a random point along the Rail Trail.

It runs parallel to the Rail Trail, but eventually turns right which leads to an old clearing where young trees are starting to grow back. Not much to see, but it's a nice hike off of the Rail Trail.
