This trailhead access point on Haselton Road (near Black Brook, about 5. 7 miles from Wilmington) provides a scenic 0. 8-mile walk through red pine forest to the West Branch Ausable River, part of the Wilmington Wild Forest.

The trail is relatively level for the first half-mile with recent maintenance clearing fallen trees, making it accessible for most hikers, and offers multiple route options ranging from a 1-mile round trip to over 3 miles for those exploring further downstream along state land.
