The Crotched Mountain Accessible Trails were built to rigorous US Forest Service standards to ensure that they are usable by everyone. Located on property of the Crotched Mountain Foundation, a non-profit that provides services to people with disabilities, the trails are open for all to enjoy from 30 minutes after sunrise until 30 minutes before sunset. The network consists of two distinct trails.
Dutton Brook Trail - The Dutton Brook Trail is fairly flat, approximately 2 miles round-trip and winds its way through woodlands. There are boardwalks and observation platforms that provide overlooks onto various natural landscapes.
Gregg Trail - The Gregg Trail ascends a knoll and offers beautiful panoramic views of the surrounding hill country. Due to numerous switchbacks, the trail's grade never exceeds 8%. There are also resting points along the way. The trail winds through open meadows and is 0.8 miles from the parking lot to the top of the knoll.
Hikers should remember the following items when on the trail:
Be sure to tell someone at home your itinerary and what time you intend to return. During hunting season (Autumn) be sure to wear ample amounts of blaze orange and avoid white or brown clothes.
The Crotched Mountain Foundation's mission is to serve individuals with disabilities and their families, embracing personal choice and development, and building communities of mutual support.
