Little Rock Pond/Green Mountain Loop
The Green Mountain Connector Trail, found across the road and slightly west of the parking lot, heads southwest for 0.6 miles to its junction with the Green Mountain Trail. Follow the blue blazes. From here the trail ascends, following old woods roads for the next mile and leads to the summit of Green Mountain at 2.5 miles. The trail continues along the ridgeline and passes several spur trails that lead to excellent views of the surrounding mountains and Little Rock Pond. Crossing ledges the trail descends steadily to its junction with the Little Rock Pond Loop Trail at the north end of the pond. This trail leads to the Appalachian/Long Trail, in either direction.
