This is a very easy hike through an old abandoned railroad bed through a wetlands area. There are often interesting birds to be seen here, and in the fall this made a nice foliage hike. The hike is short and very easy, with no elevation gain on a straight path. The trail is on an elevated grade above the swamp below, and is entirely straight throughout its duration. It starts off Pomona Road, and parking is at the parking area at the citizen's center. There are signs here stating parking here is only for the citizens residents, but I believe hikers/strollers are allowed to park here as well, and I did so. I do with they made this less confusing and designated hikers parking without the confusing signage. I walked down the trail all the way to the other end, where is hits a construction spot near Route 202, and then I turned around and walked back the same route.
