not impressed. the markers led to dead ends and I didn't have the longevity of the hike i was looking for!
Very peaceful place but easy to get lost
Will have to return once the trails dry; the little we explored look great though!
I took the orange trail up to the top and then to the south along the ridgeline. There is a point that the trail forks, and the orange path continues to the right. At this point the trail devolves in bramble and ledge, and you almost have to navigate by intuition to find the orange markers. I essentially cut my way through and the trail lead me to a swamp, on the other side is the next marker. Tightwalking across logs, I get a bit muddy but manage.nOn the other side the trail got lost, and picked up only for a few markers in a lush pine forest. At this point I head east, hoping to meet the returning trail (checking the map after I see it is a single trail there). I came toward the edge of some properties and then took back toward the north. I have to tightwalk my way across another swamp and trudge into the birch forest. From here I continued North a while and then find a dry streambed. That becomes wet again soon, then I head northwest up the ledge. Not too long after I found the yellow trail, then make it back to my car.nIt was a fun hike, but a bit hairy for just wearing sandals.
I just stopped in the parking lot to eat lunch during the work day. It was quiet which is what I was looking for.
