And while they’re not the longest in the state, they do range in difficulty from moderate to advanced. This is mainly due to rocks and elevation, so if you’re comfortable with those features give it a go!

The area is surrounded by mountains, including the Deboullie Mountain and Black Mountain, both of which can be explored with hiking trails.

And it’s also chock full of waterways! There are 17 ponds here and many can be seen from the trails or from the summits those trails lead to.
