Charley's Loop Trail
Charley's Loop Trail at Purgatory Chasm State Reservation in Sutton, Massachusetts is an easy 1.3-mile loop trail featuring views of Purgatory Chasm.The trailhead is located by the entrance to the chasm on the right-hand side. This trail, marked by yellow blazes and traverses the right-hand ledges above the chasm. Much like the Chasm Loop Trail, the yellow blazes are more of a guide in the general direction since you can walk along most of the edges within site of the trail.
Like the other side of the chasm, there are plenty of optional scrambles and overlooks along the way. The trail loops at the end of the Chasm Loop Trail and follows a wide path sweeping out into the woods and eventually back to the trailhead. The second portion of the trail offers no overlooks, but its a wonderful walk none the less.
