Forming three distinct loops, the Heselton Street Trail wends its way through a white pine forest. Typical of many of the woods in the area, the loamy sand soil covered with pine needles provides a cushioned walk up and down the ravines. Bridges and stairs have been added, which help traverse the steeper and wetter sections of the trails. The loop closest to Heselton Street is an ADA-compliant, crushed gravel trail. Parking and access are available both from Heselton Street and from the Memorial Fields at the end of East Maple Street.
Expect a complete hike to take about 45 minutes.
