This trail starts from the Shaker Mountain Trail Parking and runs behind a gate. It follows an old road through the woods until it comes to the southwest corner of the Shaker Reservoir, where it turns and follows the edge of the pond. It runs past some cellarholes and the lower dam. The lower dam is a great place for pictures or serene reflection. The trail continues past the footbridge (on the right) and ascends slightly. It's unclear if Griffin Connector and C.C.C. Connector are meant to be a part of the North Family Trail or individual trails. The North Family Trail appears to end at the south end of these connectors.

Flora: Ramps, May-Apple, Running Cedar.
Fauna: Scarlet Tanager.
