Benson Mines Newton Falls Road.
This 0.1-mile path is less a hike than a roadside pause—useful if you need to stretch your legs between Star Lake and Wanakena, but nothing more. You'll spend more time parking than walking. Skip it unless you're already driving past and need 5 minutes out of the car.
- Leg-stretcherShort and nearly flat — an hour or less
- Peak foliage window — color starts up high and works down the valleys through mid-October.
