The first section of the Gregg Homestead trail follows an old road up to the land’s first homestead. This old road passes a vernal pool on the right. After 0.3 miles, the trail meets a loop. At this junction are the stone foundation remains of the Gregg Homestead. At the far end of the loop there is an abandoned beaver dam and open forest meadow behind it. Even without the beavers currently, the habitat they created attracts much wildlife. The loop travels 0.8 miles before meeting back up with the 0.3-mile trail back to the parking area.
The total hiking distance, including the trail out to the loop, around the beaver pond, then returning on the trail back to the parking area, is 1.5 miles.
