9 Stony Brook Trail 



The trail up Stony brook to the summit of the ridge 

 near Bay State road offers perhaps the best and most 

 varied cross section of the flora of the entire park area. Be- 

 ginning on Quaker run (figure 32), wherein former times 

 White Pine occurred in some abundance on the lower 

 slopes, we find the deep ravine of the lower part of Stony 

 brook covered with a dense vegetation of the second 

 growth forest. Here neither the soil nor its humus have 

 suffered so intensely from fire and the effects of leaching, 

 and in consequence the soil is fairly fertile and somewhat 

 calcareous in nature. 



By an easy grade the trail ascends upward, crossing 

 several attractive branch brooks and springs, where the 

 wet soil supports a most varied flora of the plants which 

 prefer rather open wet or springy places. These spots 

 are interspersed with stretches of drier slopes covered 

 with second growth forest. The trail finally emerges into 

 an old clearing, the location of a former lumber camp, in
