At a glance
Overview
Dunbar Brook tumbles through Monroe State Forest in a long string of small cascades and plunge pools. The Dunbar Brook Trail follows the brook from the Dunbar Picnic Area off Raycroft Road. The cascades start within the first half mile and continue for miles. It's a quiet backcountry-feel walk with very little signage; bring a map.
