  • Viking and Riverside Trail — This is a well-made trail, partly wheelchair accessible, that runs along the river. Roughly 3 miles total. 
  • Singepole Mountain — Two ways to summit, one is an easy-to-moderate 1.4 miles, to a view overlooking nearby Streaked Mountain, Halls Pond, and the Western mountains. There’s a glorious quarry pond at top. You can also hike from Halls Pond along a 1-mile steeper path.
  • Streaked Mountain — A half-mile trek straight up hill to beautiful views near the radio towers. Continue another 0.3 miles to a second ledge with even more beautiful views. Or take the gravel access road up. Or take up the longer, lovely trail up its southeast ridge. Careful in bad weather. 
  • Cornwall Nature Preserve — A roughly three-mile network takes you through pretty woods and over streams. 
  • Crocker Hill The trail has been posted no trespassing, as of 4/25. A short, easy hike to a beautiful view. The trail is not as well marked as other hikes. Cairns mark the last ascent to the summit.
