Trail into the woods at Saratoga Woods

When it seems you’ll soon run out of land, the road takes a hard left and becomes East Harbor Road, a straighter shot along the banks of Holmes Harbor to one side and forest or farmland to the other. Many other roads connect across this triangle of land, and several abut forest reserves or walking trails.
