Parking:
Follow the local streets of Forbes Street or Scotland Road to Chipper Drive, where the parking lot is on the left.
This intersects the trail a bit east of its terminus on Scotland Road. Parking is also available in Labor Field at the
other end of the trail.
The trail walk:
This trail segment is a comprised of stone dust and boardwalks. From the parking area, the access path heads towards
the Scotland Road Pond section of the river. Where it intersects the trail, a side path of about 750 feet to the left will
terminate at Scotland Road, while the main length of the trail heads upstream along the Pond, providing expansive views of
the water and abundant waterfowl. The East Hartford Middle School is on the other side where, while not part of the Trail
proper, there will be found an observation platform.
The path continues upstream along the pond and river, to open out onto Labor Field. From here it follows along the
river and ends just past the park out on Walnut Street.
