This hike passes through some of the earliest settlement sites within the Borough, including the “Devil’s Footprint”, one of two recognized Lenni Lenape camps found in Hopatcong. It includes a 1/2-mile street segment on Maxim Dr (Sussex Co. Rt 607). The first 1/4-mile of the westward route on the Lake Hopatcong Trail/Highlands Trail (from the Maxim Dr trail head) has some modestly steep up and down segments. These segments should be avoid when conditions are slippery.
