The 4.8 mile out and back Canty trail in Mendon is often a buggy, so be forewarned. Dogs are able to use this trail but must be kept on leash.

Not sure the trek to the very top is worth it, as the view from the top is obstructed unless it is Fall and the reduced foliage allows for better viewing of the surrounding countryside.
