This "figure 8" hike is my own invention. Start at the southern end of the Cannonball Trail,
heading north around the western and northern sides of Ramapo Lake. Make a right onto the MacEvoy
Trail and hike along the eastern side of the lake. Next, make a left onto the Hoeferlin Trail,
taking this trail all the way back to the South Ridge Trail and finally back to the Cannonball
to its southern end. This moderately strenuous hike covers 6.5 miles in just over 3 hours.
