Distance: 2 Mile Loop
Difficulty Easy
Katie Metzger Town Forest Walking Trail is a fairly new hiking trail located on Rt 119 in Fitzwilliam. There is a small pullout for parking with a sign marking the trail head.
From the parking lot you walk into the woods where the trail is very easy to follow with different colored trail markers, marking different loops. As you start out there is a small loop off to your left. I did not take this loop as it was a small loop and did not make a difference in my hike.
The next loop is the Laurel Loop, which is a short loop overlooking a bog and some Laurel. There is a small trail sign marking this loop and the trail markers are white along with a bench to enjoy the view. As you are looping back it is sharp turn to the left back to the main trail.
I forgot to clock each loop, but this one was very short. The next loop is the larger of them. You meander through the forest and watch for signs for Pond View.
This is an out and back trail, not a loop. There is a bench with a beautiful view of a small pond. It was a perfect spot to sit and catch up with a friend.
After enjoying the pond you finish the loop and walk back towards the parking area. The Katie Metzger Town Forest Walking Trail was two miles and an easy walk through the woods. I apologize as I did not get as much detailed information as normal. I was hiking with a friend and we got lost in conversation, which is a great way to explore a new trail.
