The Kedron Flume Trail leaves the parking lot on a driveway and ascends two long switchbacks to cross the railroad tracks then climbs uphill and uses shorter switchbacks. At .7 mi the brook is crossed above Kedron Flume but there are no good viewing spots of the falls below. After more climbing, the Kedron Flume Trail ends at the Ethan Pond Trail at about 1.2 mi.
