Old Springfield Pass

Trail Overview

Beginning on the Old Springfield Road, this trail branches off through the wilderness, while mastering high centered echoes of a busy road turned into a goat path through thick forest. The wildlife is really active in this area, countless beaver dams line the track, as well as wandering deer and black bears. There are many junctions in the area and this particular pass will land you at Coac Falls. When you arrive, there is a rest stop on the path for parking. When descending down to Coac Falls, do so on foot with caution as it is a fairly steep slope, with lots of large loose rocks and mud. Ironically the falls are best viewed after heavy rain, making the entire trail system a fair bit harder.

Difficulty

Some water crossings exceed 36" very briefly. Just follow your wake, as the dip is followed by an immediate ascent less than a quarter second into that obstacle. Be sure to tread lightly.
