★★★★½ 5.5 miles another master gardener friends hike. fantastic property, very varied and beautiful. we saw a magnificent old magnolia tree (flowering!) and some lilacs (not flowering yet) by the cellar hole of what must have been the farmhouse, an ancient-looking apple orchard, some old mill sites, fields, and lots of piney woods. but we […]

★★★★★ 6 miles fantastic walk. varied terrain, a beautiful river, the falls… everything was great today. spring is definitely coming to the woods, too, even if it wasn’t as unseasonably warm today as it was last weekend. i saw tons of red maple in bloom, and even a little stand of coltsfoot by the falls.

★★★★ 3.86 miles decided to revisit these trails, but took some different routes, which was fun. took unblazed old farm and woods roads, some of which were in great condition, and some of which were a mess. nice mix of hikey:walkey, 50:50. tough climb up breakheart hill, but not killer.
