Mercer Bay Loop Walk is a hiking area in Harrisville, Franklin, rated 4.9 by visitors.
A loop walk has a real advantage over an out-and-back track, since every part of the route is new rather than retracing the same ground twice, which tends to make the same distance feel shorter and more interesting. Regulars know to walk a loop in whichever direction gives the better light for photos, since coastal or clifftop loops often look completely different depending on whether the sun is ahead or behind. It is worth checking the total loop distance rather than assuming a shorter-looking map means a shorter walk, since elevation and terrain can add real time. Proper footwear matters on any loop with mixed terrain, since a track can change character several times over a single circuit.
In Harrisville, Franklin, Mercer Bay Loop Walk is a well-regarded local option for a walk.
