Each trail is marked by a color, so you'll just have to follow the color to stay on the path. If you prefer a short but sweet hike, set off on the Francis X. Kennedy Trail.

The green trail spans just a mile but promises plenty of gorgeous scenery, including several scenic vistas. If you're up for a longer hike, however, follow Cheryl's Trail, which is marked by blue.
