The Chestnut Trail begins at the top of Chestnut Street, which is west of the Cole Avenue intersection with North Hoosac Road on the north side. A woods road marked with a cable and a sign welcoming hikers, it is an alternate route to the Pine Cobble summit. The land was donated to the WRLF in 2006. The trail follows the road through a beautiful oak forest to an area of ledges and massive tumbled boulders. Where the Chestnut Trail intersects with the Class of ’98 Trail, turn right to continue to Pine Cobble. To view the ledges and the accompanying mountain laurel display in June, turn left.
