Higgins Mountain is one of the most popular hiking spots around the Georgetown area. Though the mountain is only around 260 feet high, you won’t be amiss for fantastic views of the surrounding area. You can even see famous Georgetown sites, like Robinhood Cove, which you’ll definitely want to visit during your stay. The trail takes you through pine trees and even wild blueberries.

Josephine Newman Sanctuary

The Josephine Newman Sanctuary is an expansive 119 acre nature preserve. The Sanctuary boasts three trails offering private, intimate hikes around the natural peninsula. You have three choices of trails in the Geology Trail, the Rocky End Trail, and the Horseshoe Trail. They all offer a fantastic hiking experience for any level, and magnificent sights, including a waterfall!
