On the western end, the Duck Creek Trail picks up where the Newton Blackmour State Trail leaves off, that is just east of the town of Seymour at Vanderheuvel Road. Traveling along an old railroad route, the trail passes through a wooded corridor among farms, paralleling State Route 54, ending shortly after the highway crosses County Road U.
In Seymour, street parking is available.
There's one spot about 4 miles west of Oneida where there's a tree completely covering the trail. There are a couple other spots too where some trail management needs to get done.
Rode this today and it was great. Nothing wrong with it. You wouldn't know you're on it until the end because there is no signage until the end and it connects with the Newton Blackmour trail.
The trails conditions have been improved from what it seems. The grass is mowed and no tree debris. The crushed stone fades away as you head into Oneida. According to this the 6 miles of trial is there.. Maps says it’s suppose to goto Hobart but it does not, it ends in Oneida, but seems like there should be more. Either way it’s a decent little trail that’ll be cool come fall.
We took this trail today. July 13. Starting in Oneida. Approximately 3.5 miles in a tree was down covering the trail. On the other side of that another tree was down. We turned back around. Attempted to ride from the connecting point of the Newton Blackmour. That portion also sustained tree damage. About 1.5 miles in a tree was down you could see two in a row. Trail itself is not very well-maintained there are a lot of low hanging trees on the short part portions we were able to ride. Give them some time to clean this up. As it is also used by snowmobilers I suspect they will get it done before the winter season.
