Raccoon Brook Hills Trail

The Raccoon Brook Hills Trail is a marked trail in Harriman State Park. It is at moderate length, going for 2.95 miles. It is blazed a black dot on white and a black R on white at junctions. The RBH trail goes from the Seven Hills Trail to the Kakiat Trail. Notable places along the way include Raccoon Brook Hill and the The Caves.

Mileposts 0.0 - 1.47
The Racoon Brook Hills Trail starts eastward from the Seven Hills Trail, a blue-on-white blazed trail. The blazes here begin with the Rs instead of the dots. At mile .3, the Reeves Brook Trail ends at the RBH Trail. The RBH Trail then crosses a brook and climbs a steep fault scarp. If you look up from this point, you'll see a rock that juts out called "The Pulpit". At 7/10 of a mile, you reach the Hillburn-Torne-Sebago Trail atop a bare rock. At 1.1 miles, a gas line crosses, laid in 1949 by the Columbia Gas Transmission Company. At milepost 1.3, the RBH Trail goes downward and turns onto a woods road. The woods road soon dissipates into the laurels and the RBH Trail turns left.

Mileposts 1.48 - 2.95
At milepost 1.55, the first of two junctions with the Kakiat Trail occur and join together. The two trails run together for about 125 feet and then split. The RBH Trail now climbs Raccoon Brook Hill, which has two summits, both 1150 feet high.
