Hiking the Great North Woods

There are several great hikes one can take to view the Great North Woods.

Magalloway Mountain - Drive North to Magalloway road follow Magalloway road for 5 miles, turn at the sign and continue for another 3 miles. The trailhead is at the end of the road to lead to the tower. There are two trails that lead to the tower. Magalloway Mountain is one of the highest peaks with an elevation of 3,360’.

Fourth Connecticut Lake - To get there drive North on Route 3 to the US Customs, park in there parking lot, and take the trail behind the border house. The trail is steep in places and follows the international boundary’s at times. Hike time? 1 hour into the lake.

Garfield Falls - What a beautiful place to see. Take Magalloway Road 12.2 miles, then stay straight another 1 mile to a small turnout on either side of the road. The trail is to the left 1/4 a mile to the falls. It is a great place for swimming and exploring.

Arthur and Christie Johnson Memorial Forest - Is a great place for an easy walk in the woods. Located across from the Pittsburg Fire Station near the village of Pittsurg, this protected forest land has nesting osprey, walking trails and good vantage points to observe the woodland creatures. Good shoes are suggested for this gentle walk.
