About this trail
This is one side of the Mount Olga loop in Molly Stark State Park in Wilmington. The 1.7-mile loop climbs from the park to the summit, where a steel fire tower moved here from Townshend State Park in 1955 gives wide views over the surrounding hills. The state reports the tower has reopened after repairs.
Good to know
- The park is open from the Friday of Memorial Day weekend to the second Monday in October, and day-use fees apply.

Walking distances follow the mapped trail network. They are not a route, they ignore slope, and they are not driving directions.
OpenStreetMap grades the footing here as: well-marked trail, no exposure. That describes the ground, not how hard the hike is.
Elevation
Climb, time and difficulty are estimates worked out from the mapped line and USGS elevation data, not measurements or official ratings. Time assumes about 2.5 mph plus an hour per 1,500 ft climbed.
