Warner Trail
From Sharon, Massachusetts, to the Diamond Hill State Park in Cumberland, Rhode Island
a great Google map can be found on the fastest known time webpage
also linked it further below in this page directly from Google maps
and this file was useful
this trail has been fun to do.
a lot of connected greenspaces with a small amount of road walking between. sometimes directly through a driveway or between 2 residences on tiny Access roads.
like many of my adventures, I never would have visited these places if not for this trail.
I still have the last section to go into RI.
so I'll post those photos after I'm finished this weekend.
if you are filtering- there's lots of water sources.
everywhere you turn.
some highlights included the
Audubon society Moose Hill wildlife sanctuary,
moose hill had a nice view
knuckup hill. an old ski Hill with old infrastructure still intact in wrentham,
good to know-
that before turning onto
an old railbed
there's a 24 hour Cumberland farms on route 1A with clean bathrooms.
then
after passing along the railbed it goes across the entrance to the wrentham mall
(pro tip- on those cold days the hot soup is so good at cracker barrel that's right near the mall entrance.
you can also sit in front of the fireplace after a hike)
like many other trails there's a myriad of connected greenspaces throughout the hike.
there's one quaint official emergency shelter and it's right on trail at F. Gilbert hills. but watch your head. it's a low roof.
if you are going southbound
after F. Gilbert Hills, and Crocker pond
off myrtle St.
there's a break in the trail where the bog bridges are broken.
I did walk in to the bog on both sides, because i wanted to walk all of the trail but to get from one side to the other. I walked around Via Route 1 to thurston st. and continued onward.
rt.1 IS VERY BUSY so it might be best to use an alternate route. I found out about the following option after I had hiked this section.
I have found one a bypass trail through the woods listed online.
this goes around the outer rim of the woods by the area that is impassable.
please refer to the following image for bypass.
there's a map on Google maps that is a great tool to use to make sure your not off course
(the map from FKT)
