It is a fairly short loop, that can be walked in half an hour. The first part is boggy, but there are raised planks. The trail slopes gently towards the lake, through typical forest. Closer to the water, there is a short spur that goes down to a viewing platform by the lake. The platform is collapsed, but the views are nice. Often, there are beavers there. Back on the loop trail, there is another boggy area before the trail starts looping back towards the road. There are wooden walkways here, too, but they are rotting and falling apart, so caution is advised, especially if it is wet. The trail is not heavily used, so walkers will have it generally to themselves.
A pleasant trail through a forest of predominantly maple and birch trees. As a previous reviewer said, there are three boggy sections with raised wooden planks keeping hikers up and out of the mud. At the terminus of the trail, hikers are rewarded with a view of Long Pond. When I hiked here today (October 9th 2017), all of the wooden walkways were in good shape. Overall one of the nicer and lesser-used trails of Great Barrington.
