1.6 miles one way, gentle hiking
  This section of the Cross Rivenell Trail traverses mixed woods and recently harvested areas.  The terrain is rolling and the hiking, gentle.  You'll come to a few view spots in the recently logged areas.  You can hike in either direction, parking wither on Parker Road or the Vershire Center Road.   .

   From the Parker Road crossing (there is limited roadside parking here), climb two switchbacks, cross a gully, and ascend steeply.  You will reach a skid trail in half a mile  just north of Chamberlain Hill.  Descend  the Hill and bear left, leaving the skid trail.  Cross another 2 skid trails, leave the logged area and descend moderately.  In approximately one mile, you'll reach a major logging road.  Cut across the logging road, bearing left, and continue west.  Shortly thereafter, cross Black Brook.  You'll cross one more logging road , a stone wall, and another gully. Enter into a clearing and bear to  the left.  Vershire Center road is straight ahead.
