The Verplanck School classes use this trail for nature study hikes on a regular basis in spring and fall. Various classes practice their snowshoe exercises and wildlife tracking activities in winter.

During many of these nature hikes, HRLPC members will participate, pointing out different types of plants and animals which the students may encounter, as well as providing information on other Manchester trails, the Hockanum River itself, and assisting teachers as needed.
