Description
This trail branches right from Red Hill Trail, near a large cellarhole. The trail climbs 0.5 miles to a snowmobile trail (on the right). While the snowmobile trail isn't maintained for summer use, it provides access to the Sheridan Woods trails. A short distance from this junction, the Cook Homestead will be on the left. Here, there is a small informational sign about the Cook Homestead. In 0.1 miles, the cabin will be on the right. From here, the trail turns into a singletrack ascending the rocks; be sure to make a few blueberry stops. It ends just shy of the tower on the summit of Red Hill.
