There are actually two routes available. The one on the right is quite short and easy with a slight incline.

The one on the left is longer and a touch more difficult.

One of the most fun parts of this trail is walking out along the narrow spit of land connecting The Knob with the mainland.

Once you’ve landed on the picturesque little island, enjoy a panoramic view from atop The Knob’s granite boulders or rest awhile on a bench. On a clear day, you can see all the way to New Bedford from The Knob.

During the spring and summer, you can find beach plum bushes in bloom along the trail, not to mention some pretty cool seashells along the shore at low tide or after a big storm.
