Good to know
DCR rates this paved loop moderate, not easy. It does not publish numeric grade, cross-slope, required crossings, exact junctions, or current pavement condition. DCR's route tables disagree on accessibility, so no accessibility claim is made; check gates, construction, and current path conditions before relying on the circuit.
