This is one of my favorite flat and fast routes in the West Barnstable Conservation Area.

Enter the woods at the parking lot onto Briar Ridge. Cross Popple Bottom Road and run down the hill onto Danforth Trails. Follow this trail through the plant tunnel, around the edge of the airfield, and into the meadow area on the Meadow Trail. Take a right onto Crocker Road and then a left onto C-O-MM and Get It and follow this through to a right onto Crooked Cartway. Follow the fire road until you hit Popple Bottom Road again and take a right to follow the doubletrack all the way back to Briar Ridge and the parking lot.

To add some mileage and more challenging singletrack trail, you can start this route from the Otis Atwood trailhead and run the 5.5 mile Popplebottom Flats Extended route.
