About This Trail

Imported description

The trail begins at the high point ofenna farm. This trail is easy to spot in most places. It does skirt the ridge to the eastern side only if you stay on it when in doubt. The hike can be extended until it crosses an old road bed. The Big Arm Trail leads to the western side of the mountain. A good loop hike would start at the Old-Dug Trail and go southwest to Big Arm. This hike offers a view to the east and west when the leaves are down. " Enjoy!"
