Fort Hill Trail

Karen Munze

Several habitats: woodland, field, and marsh. Some hills and sandy areas. Great views of the marsh towards the Coast Guard Station and towards the ocean. Good birding spot at the right time of day. Interesting sharpening rock with interpretive signs (and benches). A trail spur starting near the big glacial erratic rock (it's bigger than you) skirts the marsh and isn't marked (may not be part of the actual trail), so if you take it, look to turn right to head near the upper parking lot when you get to the split, or you'll just end up in marsh. Swamp trail is a side trip. If you start from the Capt. Penniman area parking lot and take the swamp trail, when you get to the fork, take the right fork to travel the spur, then retrace steps and take the left fork to make the circle and rejoin the Fort Hill Trail. There will be a bathroom halfway around the swamp trail (at the other entrance to the swamp trail)

Nice views. Look out for lots of poison ivy.

Magnicent views from the top of the hill. The trail connects to the Red Maple Swamp boardwalk, very nice and easy walk with some great views. There is a small parking lot at the top of the hill and several local artists painting the views.

No bathroom but I did sleep in my car overnight....didn't know it looked like it did till the sun came up....make sure to park in the last lot.
