Canton - CLCT Smith Tree Farm Trails

Date Hiked:  Tuesday, April 3, 2012
Number in Group:  18
Estimated distance round trip:  1.7 miles
Weather:  Sunny, 60°F, breezy (canceled previous plans for hike due to high winds)

This hike combined two Canton Land Conservation Trust trails.  Both originate at the Smith Tree Farm on Doyle Road (dirt single-lane road for much of the way).

The first trail we did was the Charlotte Craig Trail which is a loop.  It is only .7 miles and climbs fairly quickly to a lookout where you can see Ratlum Mountain.

The second trail, the Ted Wright Trail, is a linear trail with one end on Doyle Road.  From the tree farm, we walked down the dirt road until we crossed a stream.  The trail turned left into the woods and started to climb pretty quickly.  Our goal was Smith's Lookout.
