Hike to Greenwood Lake Overlook:
This 5 mi. loop hike climbs for the first half mile to 1400 ft. above sea level, at times steeply. The trail then wanders along glacially formed ridges of pudding stone, through mixed pines and hardwoods, before reaching Surprise Lake. A pond on top of the mountain. From there it’s a short walk to the overlook where we can have lunch before heading back down.
