This is a short 0.3 mile out-and-back side trail that leads down to Stony Brook at the Westover Conservation Area in Ludlow, MA.
The trail appears to continue on the other side of Stony Brook, but there is no bridge to cross over the water. The water level can often be too high to cross without getting wet, but may be possible during dryer seasons or to more adventurous hikers.
Trailhead: To reach the trailhead, you'll first need to hike down the Main Trail at WCA.
Parking: Parking can be found about 0.2 miles from West St along Tilley St by the gate.

JMT/PCT Duck Pass Trailhead to Vermillion Valley, CaliforniaMyHikes is an independently-owned platform aimed to make exploring public trails easier for everyone. MyHikes has no investors, no shareholders, and no goal to profit - we share trail data for the fun of it and put a ton of time tracking, writing about, and publishing new trails each month.
But it takes money and a lot of time and effort (including espresso shots) to run the site. Our content is and always will be free to use, including interactive trail maps and elevation charts, pictures from the trail, and dope points-of-interest like vistas, overlooks, waterfalls, backcountry campsites, abandoned structures, and more...
So we simply ask that if you find our content helpful or useful when planning your outdoor excursions that you consider making a small donation to help keep our lights on.
You can become a Supporter* (*MyHikes account required) when donating to unlock perks. Or you can Donate without an account.
Either way, thanks for checking out MyHikes and have a great hike!
