Black River and Cooper Mill in Winter
First section of trail very easy for non-hikers. Cooper Mill was closed of course this time of year. In fact the wheel had massive icicles covering it.
Trail Blogs are casual posts about a particular hike, sometimes with a seasonal focus. They don’t contain the detailed step-by-step instructions and information that our hike guides feature.
For example – the hike guide for Mt. Tammany has detailed instructions but also links to the multiple Trail Blogs about our various hikes up Mt. Tammany over the years (i.e. “Mt. Tammany and Sunfish Pond in the Fall“).

Picked up Blue Trail to Stark’s Brigade encampment area, then onto Grand Loop.
Rolling wooded hills, wide woods road. Decent network of easy trails; long loops possible, some moderate hills.
Trailhead requires parking on a street in a neighborhood in front of a house, and walking behind houses on a utility road.
Hiking up Mount Tammany and then to Sunfish Pond.
Standard AT trail, rocky. Views to east just OK. Stopped at junction of red trail.
