Difficulty: Strenuous

Round-trip Distance: 2.60 miles

Trail Markings: Orange Paint Blazing

About a 1 to 1.5 hour hike from trailhead to mountain top, this wooded trail along the mountain’s north side is a great hike for kids, combining soft pine-covered trails with three somewhat steeper rocky sections – just enough for variety. The kids will love scrambling up the rocks, and plus, there’s the fire tower at the top. The observation deck is closed unless a forest ranger is in attendance, but views can be had from the tower below the observation deck. The trail passes through a forest of beech, hemlock, maple, oak and spruce. Note that the trail is not on Forest Society land for approximately 1/3 mile at the start of the hike: this section of trail may be rutted, please stay on the trail.

Round trip hiking time is approximately 3 hours.
