a month agoThis place has a lot of different trails that can be you hiked in the summer and cross-country skiing come winter! There is lots of wildlife and beautiful plants to see! There are trails for every level of difficulty and it is absolutely beautiful! Parking is easy and just be aware that if you bring your dog there are porcupines in the area, otherwise no real hazards to note.

10 months agoCompleted BBK trail with my kids today. Yes, there are some steep areas, but I think the hardest part for me was how slippery it was and trying to keep up with my boys. Amazing view at the top. Was definitely worth it.
