Description

Marshall Lane (1.2 miles) is an out-and-back trail. Beginning with a steep ascent up wooden steps at High Street (a hike-and-bike section for riders), it runs east-west across the Lilly Pond Preserve toward the pond itself, forming the "spine" of the trail network. 

Marshall Lane provides access to two 0.6 mile loops. Grandpa's Trail (or "Boomerang") is to the south, and Swift Loop is to the west, near Lilly Pond. Grandpa's Trail gives access to G3, a short (0.7 miles) but technically challenging mountain bike loop trail. The Lilly Pond Trail (0.1 miles) starts from the west end of the Swift Loop, and approaches the water's edge.
