**The trail is open, but now follows a different route 0.75 miles in from the Lewis-Wadhams Road. Heavy logging made it necessary to close off the old path through the pasture. Instead, the trail takes a 0.35 mile detour up a hill and skirts most of the damage done by the logging.** - Champlain Area Trails (CATS)

The Field and Forest Trail passes under open hardwoods, crosses a creek, and goes through rolling fields with views of the surrounding mountains. The trail can be done as a point-to-point or as an out-and-back, depending on if you leave a car at the opposite trailhead.

Key takeaways

• Distance: 2.7 miles point to point
• Elevation gain: Around 400 feet
• Hike includes trail junctions and a water crossing

Hiking the Field and Forest Trail

As you enter the forest, take the left fork, cross an old beaver dam, and go through forest and fields to Boquet River Trailhead. Turn left for a half mile walk to Wadhams. The Boquet River Trailhead is a half mile north of Wadhams on county Route 10. There are options for linking other trails that connect to this one. Grab a trail map from CATS, and plan your adventure.
