The trailhead for Hanson Top (a secondary peak to Green Mountain) leaves from the Libby Road Trail, about 700’ from the top of Green Mountain. Thus, it can easily be accessed after reaching the summit of Green Mountain from any of the three paths up the mountain. The Hanson Top Spur Trail is a 0.4 mile hike to open ledges at Hanson Top, providing a southern view of the town of Effingham, Province Lake and other distant mountain ranges. This viewpoint is also an ideal setting for a picnic and/or rest. You will find a trail register box affixed to a tree on your return trip from the Hanson top.
