Great hike. Very icy today though.
Beautiful foliage and lake scenery. Perfect for a soft hike especially with kids or pets. Starts a bit hilly but then gets much smoother and enjoyable took us about 2 hrs at a slow pace. We took the longer track that covers the lakeside and more scenery but there were two shorter ones available. Has a small parking space but they probably opened a new larger one recently. There are a few nice restaurants close by for an after hike lunch or dinner.
New lot is crushed stone/gravel with room for about 20 or 25 cars. If you park on the west side, be sure to use your parking brake, or you'll end up in the drainage ditch! Yes, I learned this the hard way! Weir Hill is great for hiking, leashed dogs etc. But the trails can be rocky/rooty, and there are some very steep parts. Hiking boots recommended.
Easy spot to walk, takes less than an hour .
I've been hiking through these woods for over 30 years and it's always a beautiful place to go where you get scenic views on top of the hill, lake Cochickewick views on the back of the trail, and lot's of cool things in between.
