Bruton Farm Hiking Trail
The trail starts in the south bay of Scorch Lake, and follows the Scorch Lake Lookout Trail for 137 m until it branches off to the east along an old Cadge road.
The walk is fairly easy with a gradual climb to a hardwood ridge, and one low swampy area passing through an evergreen grove. The farm site is entered through a plantation, and on the site are remnants of a farmhouse, four barns, a Blacksmith’s shop, numerous small outbuildings, stone fences and wells.
The Bruton Farm Hiking Trail can only be accessed by Interior users from Scorch Lake.
