Roadside parking along Bulls Bridge Road. Formerly the trail came in from the left, went along Bulls Bridge Road to the junction of Schagiticoke Road. The new trail goes over a hill to the junction. The former AT route is now a blue-blazed route which meets the AT at MM 7.9 Alternatively the road may be followed over the rise in picture to meet AT at MM 7.4. Courtesy dlcul@conncoll.edu
