An inspection of the aerial photograph suggests that the trail is open in both directions from this station. The Webmaster largely confirmed this suggestion by driving along the narrow gravel roads that parallel the rail-trail between Williamsville and Coldbrook Stations. Potential trail users must note that the trail runs through the Ware River Watershed where numerous activities are prohibited to preserve the quality of the water which is drawn from the Ware River by the Metropolitan District Commission for use in the Boston area.

Limited trail parking is presumably available on one side of Granger Road
running south of Route 68.
No other trail facilities were observed in the vicinity of the trail.
