Chestnut Top Trailhead

Chestnut Top delivers a solid workout with rewarding natural beauty, particularly for wildflower enthusiasts in spring. The trail earns consistent praise for its breathtaking woodland scenery and peaceful atmosphere, though hikers should be prepared for a challenging initial ascent. The steep, narrow opening stretch alongside a drop-off makes this better suited for experienced hikers rather than families with young children, despite occasional sightings of black bears adding to the wilderness appeal.
