Old Mill Trail, South Farmington, Annapolis County
The Old Mill Trail in South Farmington, Annapolis County, is a lovely little trail, tucked away in the back of a subdivision.
Looking for a new hike to try, we decided to check out the Old Mill Trail which is tucked away in behind Wilmot, off Route 1.
The trail is a figure 8 loop trail, only 700m long.
This is what the website says:
Old Mill Trail is the first wheelchair accessible walking trail opened by the Municipality of the County of Annapolis.The trail has been leveled, compacted and designed in a way that people who require a wheelchair can move along it with ease. Throughout the trail, there are benches, picnic tables, and bridges that are accessible to people walking the trail, and to those using a wheelchair. Old Mill Trail is situated on 2.2 acres of land along the banks of the beautiful Annapolis River.
The walk only took us about 15 minutes.
We were awarded with some stunning views.
And, see if you can spot the Christmas tree!
The trail weaves and wends through a hardwood forest. It is definitely stroller and toddler friendly.
How to Get There
Old Mill Trail is located at 213 Adam Drive, South Farmington, Annapolis County.
When you are driving Route 1, take Old Mill Road immediately beside Frenchys to reach Adam Drive.
*Keep in mind that there is construction on the Old Mill Road Bridge, so you might have to go further down to Bayard Road, cross the river and double back, to reach the trail.*
At the entrance to the subdivision, there is a sign for the trail.
Go to the end of the cul-de-sac and you can’t miss it!
The next time you are driving through Annapolis County and need to stretch your legs, take a quick jaunt to check out this beautiful setting. Bring your picnic, too!
