View all 8 →Ridgeline Loop
A satisfying loop that threads through second-growth hardwood forest before breaking onto open ridgeline with long views south. The crux is a short rocky scramble at mile 4 — nothing technical, but poles help on the descent.
6.2 mi · 1,140′ gain · 3–4 hrs
Cedar Falls Out-and-Back
The easiest route to Cedar Falls, a 40-foot drop into a plunge pool that stays cool all summer. Wide, well-maintained trail on a gentle grade. Good for introducing kids or guests to trail hiking without overdoing it.
4.8 mi · 520′ gain · 2–2.5 hrs
Summit Traverse
The longest single-day route in the area, connecting two named summits across exposed ridge. Sustained climbing for the first three miles, then a knife-edge traverse with minimal tree cover. Not a casual outing — save it for a clear day with an early start.
9.4 mi · 2,800′ gain · 5–7 hrs
Beaver Pond Meander
A flat, wandering path through wetland and mixed forest that circles an active beaver pond. Trail width narrows in spots and a few boardwalk sections can be muddy after rain, but elevation is negligible throughout.
3.1 mi · 180′ gain · 1–1.5 hrs
