Distance: 1.5 Mile Loop
Difficulty: Easy
Caesar’s Brook and Stone Wall Trail Loop is located on Mt Vernon Road in Amherst. This is a peaceful walk through the woods, over bridges and along a stream. Marking the parking lot and trailhead is a small hiking sign we drove by it first as it’s between two houses. The parking area is small. There is a kiosk with trail information.
The trail descends into the woods and after about a quarter of a mile comes to split. You can go right on the Cedar Brook Trail which is marked with white blazes. Or you can bear left which is the Stone Wall Trail and marked with red blazes. We went left. This trail meanders through the woods and is mostly flat.
There are a few newly constructed bridges at various parts of the loop.
As the trail loops around it connects to the Caesar’s Brook Trail, which was my favorite part of the trail. About half of this trail is along a small stream.
The total loop was 1.5 miles. The trail was well marked with trail blazes and signs at intersections. Overall the trail was flat with some gradual up and downs. Great for beginner hikers, those who do not like a lot of elevation and younger hikers. I really enjoyed this walk in the woods.
