Take a hike! Several trails. Jesse Gerard Trail off East River Road wins our vote for best view. It’s a little steep and rocky in spots on the left fork up. Take the right fork it, for endurance, take the longer Agnes Bowen trail to Jesse Gerard for a longer steadier climb to the lookout point. 1000 year old soap stone quarries are on the north trail. A new boardwalk built by forest volunteers brings you out to a beaver dammed marsh at the top of Greenwood’s Rd.
