Walter Newton Natural Area ?

[bjc]

Does anyone know where this nature preserve is in the Plymouth area ?

I've heard there is a gentle trail to a waterfall there, but can't find directions to the TH. I'd like to try some flat, easy hiking and see how my back holds up.

Thanks.

Paradox is probably familiar with the area.

In Plymouth, go south on 3/25 for a few miles and turn right onto Cummings Hill Rd. In less than a mile, you should see the natural area's parking lot/trailhead.

Thanks for the quick replies.

Parking is a a sharp left hand turn in the road here.

Very easy trail to Rainbow Falls then you can return the same way or make a loop over rolling terrain back to the car. I'd recommend the loop as it has a couple nice benches (last I was there) overlooking a meadow. The entire loop can't be over 1.5 miles, I'm guessing. Nice little area though, especially in the spring when the stream is running high. Good one for young kids, elderly, or non-hikers, definitely.

Edit: Chip's link confirms my mileage guess. Good link, Chip!
