Hamlin Preserve winds along the forest edge to the upper reaches of Red Mountain, running through rock formations, over a headwaters stream, and along four vernal pools along the way.
The northern end of the trail starts at the trailhead at Stonehouse Road, passing by the beautiful fields of Lion Rock Farm, to the north, and then crossing into the woods. It goes over a stream and then follows the old Stonehouse Road up the mountain.
Following through the Red Mountains will lead to an intersection where the Ledge Loop trail meets the main trail. The Ledge Loop trail, blazed orange, follows along the ridgeline of Hamlin, and back to the main trail. Here, the hike can continue on the white blazed Red Mountain trail, which goes through the woods of the Wike Brothers Farm conservation easement, and then leads to the northeast corner of the Mary Moore Preserve.
