The trail follows the eastern shores of Great Pond and provides a varied experience of walking through fields and forest and over wetland marsh on a raised boardwalk. Overlooks and views of Great Pond can be seen most of the way, as can evidence of beaver activity and other wildlife signs that are often seen from the trail.
While most of the trail has minimal grade changes, the path north of Davis Point overlook has an extreme grade drop that will challenge many trail users.
