Limber Pine is fairly easy, flat terrain. Most inclines are gradual. Great hike for school age children.
Description
The Limber Pine Trail runs along the western edge of North Catamount Reservoir. As mapped, it runs from the Catamount Trail and meets at the intersection of the
Ridge Trail and
South Catamount Creek Trail.
The first mile winds through the pines and aspens on the north shore. It then descends and and dumps out at
Catamount Trail (North Slope) a service road. At the
Catamount Trail (North Slope), take a left to find Limber Pine Trail again to the right. Quickly, you'll cross three metal bridges crossing streams, then just after the marshes the trail splits. Take a left at this point to stay on Limber Pine Trail. This will take you alongside the Catamount Reservoir North; stay to the right on the trail; as there are a lot of social trails to the left for fishermen to gain access to the reservoir. From here, you'll encounter several mild switchbacks meandering through the forest.
The trail ends with an easy descent towards the
Ridge Trail and
South Catamount Creek Trail. At this point, the out and back is to return the way you came; or hike back to
Catamount Trail (North Slope), a service road, take a right on the
Catamount Trail (North Slope) and pick up the beginning of the trail a short ways up. The beginning of the Limber Pine trail is marked and will be on the left. From here, hike back to the beginning of
Elder-Fehn Trail then take a right to get back to the parking lot.
