Distance: 1.5 Mile Loop
Difficulty: Easy
Mulpus Brook Trail is located within Town Forest in Lunenburg, Massachusetts. To access the trail navigate to Holman Street off of Northfield Road. If you take Holman Road directly from Route 13 you won’t be able to get to the trailhead due to a bridge being out. Once on Holman Street drive until you see a bridge, which is currently out. The large parking lot is on your right with a kiosk.
There are several trails in Town Forest, but our goal was to hike the Mulpus Brook Trail. From the parking lot follow the trail into the woods for about a tenth of a mile. This is where the loop starts and stops. We went right. The trails is well marked with trail blazers and maps.
We continued walking on relatively flat ground until we came to a four way intersection. Here we went left and continued walking through the woods. We walked roughly four tenths of a mile until the trail went left, which was marked with a red arrow.
Walk until you come to a bridge. Before the bridge take a left and follow the trail along the stream.
The trail follows the stream and over a couple bridges until it veers away from the stream and connects to the end of the loop. From here go left back to the parking lot.
The trail was 1.5 miles and easy to walk and navigate. I love a good hike along a stream and Mulpus Brook was beautiful.
