Access Path (0.2 miles one way)
A moderate path leading to the Far Winde-A-Way kiosk and trails, following old farm and logging roads.
Cakewalk (0.4 miles one way)
A 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. Two 'Scrambles' (short, but difficult, make-your-own-way side trips) can be accessed from this trail.
Wheelbarrow (0.4 miles one way)
A 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.
Angle Iron (0.3 miles one way)
A 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!
Winding Way (1.4 miles one way)
A 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.
