The trails are easily accessible from the parking area at the trail head. There are several different trails, all connected and easily followed by the color coded blazes. • The real prizes of this forest is the view from the lookout on the Ridgeline Trail and the pond. There are great views of the Green Mountains, fishing, and swimming. It's very dog friendly and accessible year round. • Hunting in allowed so blaze orange is recommended during hunting season. • Main Trail Details: • Town Forest Access Trail [orange blazes] • (0.75 mile) Easy/Moderate • Trail from MTF parking lot is the main access to • MTF and Milton Pond. This easy trail runs • through the old tree farm, fields and woods to the • Old Marquette Farm Road which follows the • edge of Milton Marsh. It’s a moderate climb from • there up to the Four Corners junction. • Pond Circuit Trail [blue blazes] • (2.25 miles) Easy/Moderate • From the Four Corners junction, this trail creates • just over a 2 mile circuit around Milton Pond. The • trail crosses three wooden bridges on the south • side then goes through the woods, under the • power lines on the western side and over the • Spillway Bridge. The trail then loops around to • climb the moderate ridges on the eastern side, • back under the power lines, and back up to the • Four Corners junction. • Ridgeline Trail [yellow blazes] • (3 miles) Moderate/Strenuous • From the Four Corners junction, the trail climbs • through woods and a rocky area, before • descending to The Saddle, near the highest point • in the MTF. The trail then drops down beneath • cliffs, through woods, and under the power lines • on the western side, and eventually crosses • Bridge 5. To the north, the trail crosses a couple • of fields and steadily climbs onto the ridges, • crossing under the power transmission lines • (with good views toward Mt. Mansfield), and to • the View Point, and drops back to the Town • Forest Access Trail just before the Four Corners. • Side Trail Details: • Dry Woods Bypass (0.15 mile) [orange blazes] • This easy woods trail parallels the Old Marquette • Farm Road and Milton Marsh on the Town Forest • Access Trail. • Pond View Loop (0.5 mile) [green blazes], • Off the Pond Circuit Trail, beyond the Four • Corners, the trail follows an old logging road to • the edge of Milton Pond, then loops around a • point with a beaver lodge, and climbs through • woods to intersect the Pond Circuit Trail just • above Bridge 2. • Skid Road Trail (0.25 mile) [lavender blazes] • This trail is off the southern section of the • Ridgeline Trail, about a half mile up from the • Four Corners junction. The trail drops down an • old logging skid road, coming out next to Bridge • 2 on the Pond Circuit Trail, creating about a one mile loop from the Four Corners junction. • Viewpoint Link (0.1 mile) [red blazes] • A steep connection between the Pond Circuit • Trail and the Viewpoint on the Ridgeline Trail on • the eastern side, close to the Four Corners • junction. • Carriage Barn Links (0.1 mile) [red blazes] • [opposite 460 Westford Road] • Optional seasonal parking for four vehicles on • private land; paths through fields connect to the • Ridgeline and Pond Circuit Trails. • Music: Track In The Forest by LesFM. https://lesfm.net/
