The trail starts on your left just before the school on Rt.309 and is dirt for about a mile and then becomes tar for another mile and after the dam and small pond on the right you can pick it up for almost another mile. The road turns into dirt just before the dam and baseball field. Seems like a house was built as you head west that will cause a detour in getting to Collinsville to make a loop of the two farmington rail trails.
