Section 1 is from the Medfield line to Robbins Road. Trail markers on the BCT are WHITE, with occasional square, colored BCT markers. 

Terrain

The northern end of the BCT under the power line is steep, as are the eskers (look it up!) in this section. There are wonderful views of Mine Brook, which provides a third of Walpole’s water. This may be the prettiest trail in town.
