Guidelines for Simpson Hill visitors

• Various routes – depending on your need to explore, it is about a 20 minute climb to Table Top, at 170 M ASL, by the shortest route. The trail map gives an overview of the trails, not to scale. Table Top is an open rocky bluff with spectacular views of the St. Croix River, Devil's Head (Maine), Todd's Point, Oak Bay, Hill's Point and the lower Waweig River. The Upper Loop trail provides views eastward of the Chamcook Lake watershed from Rollingdam to Bocabec.

• Trail Standards - are of the "low use, back country" type that highlight natural features. Rocks and lichen can be especially slick in damp/wet weather and pine needles can be slippery in dry weather. Hiking shoes, or snowshoes, not sandals, are recommended! See the Trails section for details on relative degree of difficulty.

• Trail Markers – look for signs of use and red/orange or blue flagging tape, over and under blazes, and/or cairns. Blue trails are "laterals" cutting across the slopes to link the main up/down routes.

• Walking sticks – highly recommended, help yourself at the trail head. They aid you climbing and really ease the knees coming down. These brochures are also usually available at the Info Box.

• Respect - the natural dams and pools on the stream - they hold water during dry spells and make beautiful "falls" in wet weather, - Also the stone cairns that have been erected as monuments and trail markers. They are often the only visible markers in winter. This is a "wild" nature park and we need your support to make it endure. It is litter free because people love it. We hope you do too.
