Calf Mountain is a great hike if you are looking for open space for picnicking or bird watching. The 1-mile round-trip hike leads to an open meadow rather than deep woodlands. This is probably not a hike you want to make in the middle of a hot humid day. However, the open meadow next to wilderness is a great place for observing songbirds. You will also want to note the lush blueberry bushes growing along side the path.
