- At Town Meeting 2010 a section of Class VI Old Grimes Hill Road was discontinued to the east of Indian Pond Rd and a trail easement was given by Bruce and Sarah Schwaegler for this section and also a section of their land on the Old Grimes Hill Rd west of Indian Pond Rd. The eastern portion is just over a mile long, western portion approximately 2 miles long. The western portion passes close to abandoned farmhouse cellar holes. At present portions of the western end are not passable, the result of a severe wind storm in the summer of 2010. The Trail is for pedestrian use only, walking, jogging, snowshoeing, skiing.
