Blueberry Hill.
Blueberry Hill is a short 0.3-mile trail that likely takes its name from the wild blueberries common to open ridges and sunny slopes across the park. At just over half a kilometer, it's brief enough for a quick leg-stretch or an evening walk. Exact terrain and ownership aren't confirmed, but trails of this length often serve as connectors or lead to modest viewpoints.
- Leg-stretcherShort and nearly flat — an hour or less
- Family-friendlyShort, easy, and gentle enough for young legs
- Good for snowshoeingNon-technical grade that carries a snowshoe track
- Peak foliage window — color starts up high and works down the valleys through mid-October.
