Upton-Morgan Trail

The Upton-Morgan State Forest Trail lies on the southwest side of Clinton Street between the I-89 Park and Ride parking lot and Silk Farm Road, with parking for the trail on Silk Farm Road.

Hiking travel time: about 45 minutes

Distance: about 3/4 of a mile

This trail is a very nice, interpretive trail with clearly marked signs delineating various natural phenomena. There are three trails, the white blazed access trail which leads to two trails on the left, the red trail and the yellow trail to the right. On the red trail you will see American Chestnut, raptor’s nests, signs of a Pileated Woodpecker and old snags. On the yellow trail you will find a pine forest, aspen forest, cavity trees, regeneration forest, oak forest, down and dead material, and deer barking. This forest offers a wonderful introduction to the woods for young children. Because of tight turns and a narrow bridge, the trail is recommended for walking only.
