One Star Hikes

Disclaimer: Ratings are based on how likely someone would be to seek out a given location if driving from across the state coupled with my own subjective experience

One star hikes are the only ones that aren’t really worth attempting to hike. They tend to be the least popular and least maintained often because there just isn’t much to see.

However, some of these have great potential hidden in their overgrown trails. If they received some stewardship they might get bumped to two or three stars. And some are boat launches, that’s no commentary on the water they allow access to, its just that the rating system is geared toward hiking and I haven’t figured out how best to fit them in.

Rating System:

★☆☆☆☆ – Unmaintained, short hike, or not much to explore
★★☆☆☆ – Enjoyable short hike usually for locals
★★★☆☆ – Great hike with highlights, worth seeking out
★★★★☆ – Great area to explore worth repeat visits
★★★★★ – Must-see
