The Elf Meadow Loop Trail is a 0.6 mile yellow blazed trail that starts at the back of the Elf Meadow Conservation Area and shoots west down Orchard rd.

The trail comes out ~0.4 miles from the parking lot on Orchard rd. There's a red blaze spur trail that you can take back to complete the loop as well, but it was overgrown when I went.

There's also a connection to the Brookfield Trail which is a 1.4 mile trail that leads over to S.E. St in Amherst.
