6.82 miles ★★★★★ beautiful hike. just gorgeous. crosses many streams over pretty bridges, different kinds of forests, from pines to oaks. nothing too strenuous. it was just what i needed today. a nice, long day in the woods. to get to this sign, you have already walked about a mile into arcadia. this is right […]

4.78 miles ★★★★ usual suspects hike. this was very different from our usual hikes. more open and different kind of terrain. we went through three different properties, too: we started at the federal wildlife refuge headquarters at kettle pond, crossed into the audubon society’s kimball wildlife refuge, and then into burlingame state park, and back […]

3.94 miles ★★★ i’ve been wanting to get up here for some time, and another commitment in the area made today the right day. it was a little disappointing because a) it wasn’t a loop, so i had to do some backtracking, and b) heavy use by dirtbikes and atvs has made the trails kind […]
