Date of Hike
Date of Hike: Friday, October 23, 2026
Parking/Access Road Notes
Parking/Access Road Notes: Small parking area across from outhouse, more parking up the road a little. Pawtuckaway is to be commended for their signs letting you know there is further parking (they have this for North Mountain as well). Road access? Took Reservation Road to Tower Road, which was shorter than Round Pond all the way. It was a deeply religious experience; I prayed I wouldn't damage my car. I have managed roads in a sedan before, but this wasn't that great. Next time, we will take Round Pond to Tower.

Comments
Comments: Had planned for the tower as well, but the ledges at the end of this trail were so nice, we spent a lot of time there.

Pretty trail, short and sweet. A lot of leaf litter at the beginning. Very open Woods on the ridge toward the ledges, you can see obstructed views through here.

Met a group doing a cemetery hike. They visited four! I thought there were only three. Speaking of which, there is one near the trailhead. Couldn't make out many of the names, but the average dates are in the 1830s.
