French’s Stream Trail

The French's Stream Trail at Forge Pond Park begins at Parking Lot E, deep in the paved portion of the park, and follows a gravel path down to the water where it meets the Forge Pond Trail, along with a gravel canoe and kayak launch. From there, the trail continues for about half a mile through woods of pine, oak, birch, beech, and maple, crossing a short footbridge over a stream and passing an old stone wall before the trail forks -- follow the red blazes for an up-close view of French's Stream itself.
