Hikers – 

This hike offers a little of everything, and hikers can choose the difficulty level and pace that is best for them. The Canandice Lake Trail is an 8.4-mile out-and-back. Generally considered an easy route, it takes an average of 2h 35min to complete. This is a popular trail for birding, hiking, and walking.  For the more adventurous; about 2 miles into the hike, you come to Robs Trail, which is a steep incline that brings you up the side hill to Rt. 15A.  The round trip for this portion of Robs Trail is 2.9 miles out and back and takes about an hour and a half.  

Bikers

This is an enjoyable 10.5 mile ride around Canandice Lake.  There is only one moderate hill at the very beginning of the ride.  Bikers will take a left out of the parking lot onto Purcell Hill Rd. and take the first right onto Canandice Hollow Rd. This road eventually winds around to the right and reaches Canandice Lake Rd. We will follow Canandice Lake Rd. all the way to the South end of the lake where we will make a right onto the Canandice Lake Hiking/Biking trail which runs along the west side of the lake back to the parking lot.
