Spring trail conditions can be unpredictable with ice, mud and snow possible. For your safety and to reduce erosion, please wear micro-spikes and stay on the middle of the trail.
0.8 mile loop (200 ft. elevation gain)
This popular 0.8 mile loop leaves from a trailhead on Watson Pond Road. It is an excellent choice for sunrise (or moonrise) walks. Hiking the trail clockwise is recommended, as the northern portion of the loop is steep and rocky at times, and is easier to climb than descend. Upon reaching the summit, hikers are rewarded with a panoramic view of Long Pond to the south and east. Continuing clockwise, the trail winds back down the mountain to the trailhead, with a less steep grade than the ascent.
