This lollipop hike begins on the White trail at the Northwood Drive parking lot. Take the White trail to the Butler Reservoir, making a left on the Red trail
and proceeding past the dam, crossing the brook. Continue following the Red trail after the brook and then make a left on the Green trail. The trail
ascends the mountain offering views looking towards Route 23. Eventually the Green trail ends at the White trail where a right turn takes you back to the
parking area.
