Kayaking in East Inlet heading towards the Second Connecticut Lake is heaven. Quiet. Birds to see. Moose to watch. And we saw not a soul. Just us.

We stayed for two nights in a Tentrr called secluded paradise and drove a side by side Rzr XP. This was by far one of coolest experiences I've ever done. The staff were very nice and helpful in showing us off road trails to explore. The leaves were at their peak and were awesome. I recommend anyone who loves camping, nature, and 4-wheeling to check this place out. You wont regret it!

I had the nice experience of stopping by treats and treasures / first Connecticut Lake General Store. The staff was very friendly and if you didn't see something on the menu they would go out of their way and make it for you. I had two scrambled eggs with bacon and home fries and coffee. My mom had a delicious egg cheese and Canadian bacon breakfast sandwich with coffee. Both of us enjoyed the meal immensely.

Green Acres is one my favorite spots in Pittsburg! It’s my go to spot for breakfast on the weekends when I’m up at my cabin. Their cinnamon buns are incredible, and their breakfast sandwiches on their homemade English muffins are the best in town. Their lunch menu is also equally delicious. The country store has so many beautiful gifts, many homemade. I have purchased several items to decorate my camp. If you’re in Pittsburg, stop in and see Cathy and her staff. They will make you feel like family and you won’t be disappointed!

Did this hike while we were in Pittsburg. If you are not comfortable driving on narrow roads, or dirt roads, DON'T TRY IT. In addition, logging trucks also use these roads, and THEY have the right of way. The trailhead is located about 8 miles from the nearest paved road, and the last three miles are rough, rocky, and the road is narrow (one car width in places). This is a forest road, and there are areas that are washed out, as well as rocks sticking up out of the road. If your car has low clearance, you might not want to take it out there. We had to back up a few times to let other drivers pass. We met a caravan of minivans who tried going out and had to turn around because their vans couldn't make it, and one pulled too far off the road and almost sank in mud. Once you get to the trailhead, you have 2 options. The Coot trail is an old road, but don't let the term road fool you. It is moderately steep and rough, but only about 3/4 of a mile long. This meets up with the Bobcat trail, which leaves the parking area about 100 yards down the road. This trail was not signed when we hiked. The trails meet just below the summit, which is only about an 8/10 of a mile hike total. On the summit there is a fire tower. You can climb the steps to a viewing platform, but you can't go in the tower itself. You can see Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, and Canada from there. There is also a side trail by one of the cabins that leads you to an outlook at the top of a cliff- I would NOT recommend bringing small children over there, as the top is gravelly and the drop off can come up on you suddenly if you aren't expecting it. We took the Bobcat trail down, and had to go over, under, and around multiple trees across the trail. The usual route is to go up the Bobcat and down the Coot.
