Route

- Follow the loop back to the main parking-lot trailhead without continuing onto other reservation paths or boardwalk connections.
Good to know
DCR classifies this loop as easy and accessible, but its surface table says unpaved and the current reservation plan says accessibility issues remain elsewhere across the property. The agency does not publish route-specific grade, cross-slope, drainage, crossing, or current-construction detail; gate hours and coastal conditions can change.
