Bartell Trail Head

Easy walking trails clean

I like to hike here in the winter with my dogs because I usually run into more snowmobilers than other hikers. During the warm seasons it's quite busy on a daily basis. There are a couple different trails and lots of varying hill grades, once you get to the railroad bed you can walk forever in each direction. Well maintained.

Great trials, well marked..alot to see

The trail was fairly dry, it has been a very wet spring. I went toward the ponds. One hill, but easy to manage with a baby in a pack. I brought my mom too, she loved it. Easy to navigate. I wore hiking shoes, but probably could have done sneakers, which my mom had on and did fine. Very well maintained!

After driving by this trailhead regularly, and not really thinking anything of it, I decided to explore it. There's a nice network of trails here, worth exploring. I did note that throughout a good part of it, at least when you're up in the hillier portions, you can still hear the traffic from rt 13, but that's a fairly minor note on an otherwise easily accessible gem.
