This is a delightful, quick .7-mile hike — albeit you need to be a bit careful locating the trail head, especially if you use Google maps. There are some nearby roads shown on Google that are really just cow paths. It’s best to approach the trail via Maplecrest Road and not Randall Lake Road.
The trailhead, off Maplecrest Road, starts behind a row of small boulders. After passing through a grassy, slightly overgrown patch, you’ll enter the woods. Though the track is not marked, it’s super easy to follow to the summit overlook. Just keep walking up along the main path. The southward views are great.
The elevation gain is roughly 402 feet.
Directions: Find your way to Maplecrest Road. If you’re coming from Middle Road, the trailhead begins soon after you turn onto Maplecrest Road.
When I look at your map, I don’t see any “big bend on the right”. Can you just give the GPS coordinates for the trailhead? Thanks.
Yes, those were kind of confusing directions. I tried to clarify them somewhat in my post, but here are the GPS coordinates for the trailhead: 43.71532, -70.88085. Have a good hike!
