Calcium-end entrance to trail, with picnic tables, info sign. 

Info: This trail is paved with loose gravel. Fairly easy for anyone, whether walking or bike-riding, though not recommended for bikes with thin tires or those who have trouble walking. Groomed in the winter for cross-country skiing. There is a large pond and paved parking at both ends. Nicely kept trail with wooden bridges, a picnic table, cook-out, benche, etc.  Very nice look out over pond [Presently gone].  Pond is posted No Trespassing. The trail is actually a septic line right-of-way from Watertown to Fort Drum but this is not very evident and the trail is well worth using.  Some history on Calcium here.

Directions: If you are heading out of Watertown go out Route 11 until you find the Patterson Road on the right. The entrance to the trail will be just past this. Or you may continue out Route 11 until you reach Calcium and then take a right into Calcium on the Sanford Corners Road. Another parking lot is a little ways up that road on the right near the fire station.

Coordinates/Waypoint(s):  N 44 01.249, W 75 50.904 -  Parking lot/trail start at Calcium end.
