Trail Descriptions

Access Path – Moderate path to the Far Winde-A-Way kiosk and trails, following old farm and logging roads. 0.2 miles one way.

Cakewalk – Moderate trail along Mud Pond, beginning with a downhill jaunt. Be aware of your footing across roots and rocks. The trail ends on a wooded, steep-sided knoll at the edge of the pond. 0.4 miles one way. The two green dots on the map are 'Scrambles': short, but difficult, make-your-own-way side trips.

​

Wheelbarrow – Moderate trail that begins with an uphill climb, then joins an old horse-logging road. Impressive work went into building this road across the rough hillside. 0.4 miles one way.

Angle Iron – Strenuous climb, with drop-offs and a cliff near the trail. The cliff is marked with signs. Most of the trail is an old horse-logging route. Imagine logging this difficult terrain with horses. 0.3 miles one way.

​

Winding Way – Moderate and steady climb from the end of the Cakewalk to the summit of the preserve, with a few challenging inclines. The Angle Iron and Wheelbarrow trails also join Winding Way. There's a small stone monument at the summit, and Pennesseewassee Lake is visible through the trees in fall and winter. From there, the trail loops back down and reconnects with itself. 1.4 miles one way.
