Hunters Brook Trail Details
Primarily following Hunters Brook just south of Bubble Pond, the trail remains fairly flat, sometimes crossing a number small brooks. Be prepared to scramble down slippery riverbanks and over small wooden walkways and bridges! The trail leaves the stream further north where it joins the balsam-lined Bubble Pond carriage road and the Pond Trail. Trailhead: 14.1 miles from the Visitor Center on Park Loop Road.
