Description
This beautiful trail, managed by Forgotten Trails, a volunteer trail group based out of South River, offers a spectacular view from the top of what is locally known as Moose Mountain. While this isn’t really a ‘mountain’ in the true sense of the word, hikers should be prepared for a moderate climb. Once at the top, visitors will be greeted with a beautiful view of the surrounding landscape and farmlands.
