Starting at Miller Pond and dropping a car at Old Blue Hills Rd in Durham by the Blue / Orange Trail: Mattabesett Trail Part 4: 4.9 miles Total hike: 6.3 miles

This section of trail was fantastic! The quartz rocks and mountain laurel continue throughout this hike. The terrain is a little more rugged with a good mix of rocks and hills, a couple may even get your heart pumping. The only real tricky part to navigate is Bear Rock. There is a side trail to bypass it for those who don’t want to scramble, but it really wasn’t hard. You just need to go slow and watch your footing.
