This is a great little paddle / hike. We enjoyed a beautiful sunny day launching from the short carry (~0.25 miles) on Long Pond and paddling our way over the the trail head (maybe 2.5 miles or so of paddling each way). The hike is a short 1.4 miles to the summit with most of the ~1000' of gain over the last 0.8 miles for a total hiking of just under 3.5 miles including the carry and around 5 miles or so for paddling. The views from the summit are beautiful.
