West Branch: Massachusetts
Section W-14: Tully Trail to New
Hampshire border
This section of the proposed New England Trail
would follow the Tully Trail
to the New Hampshire border. It would include three notable waterfalls, several
open cliffs, scenic woodland and wetlands, and Tully Lake.
W-14.0 Bliss Hill to base of Tully Mountain
The trail passes through attractive woodland with ledge overlooks, cascading
brooks, and riverine wetlands.
W-14.1 Tully Mountain
Tully mountain is a sharp, steep monadnock with extensive barren ledges and
attractive woodland.
W-14.2 Tully
Lake
Tully Lake, managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, offers boating,
fishing, and camping. The proposed New England Trail route would use the
alternate Tully Lake Loop Trail around Tully Lake to the south.
W-14.3 Doane's
Falls
A series of seven high-volume waterfalls along
Lawrence Brook.
W-14.4 Spirit Falls
A stepped waterfall cascading off a high, wooded ledge.
W-14.5 Jacob's
Hill
Jacob's Hill offers expansive views of the Tully River Valley.
W-14.6 Tully River
This part of the Tully Trail follows the
attractive, undeveloped course of the Tully river.
W-14.7 Royalston
Falls
One of Massachusetts' most scenic waterfalls, Royalston Falls plunges from a
high ledge into a boulder filled ravine. From here, the proposed New England
Trail route continues north via the Metacomet-Monadnock Trail into New
Hampshire. R
