Notes: A popular loop hike in Connecticut Hill WMA. Bob Cameron was a former manager of Connecticut Hill WMA. Part of this hike is on the "isolated" section of Robert Tremen State Park. Be sure to follow the blazes carefully as there are sections of this hike where it is very easy to "wonder off" the main trail.
