DESCRIPTION

This gravelled trail begins in the parking lot at the end of the main park road 
and is an easy walk. It includes a boardwalk route which takes about one hour to 
complete. Vegetation along this trail includes Hemlock, Balsam Fir, a beautiful stand 
of Beech, Huckleberry, and Rhodora. It is also home to saprophytes which are 
plants that exist without the benefit of direct sunlight, but instead extract 
nourishment and energy from decaying organic material.  

Due to the many sharp turns on narrow sections, Grafton Lake Trail poses difficulty
to cross-country skiiers.  However, it is suitable for snow-shoers.
