This trail is closed (during mud season).

Watch out for broken bog bridges, downed trees, sinking mud, and Sphagnum Moss islands.

This trail starts from the trailhead, at Damon Crossing, and follows a crushed gravel path. The trail stays on the crushed gravel to the view platform. Here, there are some nice views over the bog. Be sure that you're well-provisioned and have good navigational skills (if you intend to continue from here). The trails are not maintained beyond the view platform. Most of this trail is a boggy mess, as you make your way through a carwash of Alders. The trail takes a right turn, following the old railbed, but is quickly lost. The tread of the trail eventually fizzles out. If you're ambitious, the trail might continue on to VT Corridor 2.
