Although Boulder Pine Peak is officially trailless, there is an unmarked, yet maintained, path that leads to the summit. The easiest route to the summit begins at the parking area at Bearfort Waters. Following the Old Coal Trail, hikers will pass by hemlock groves, fern patches and former homesteads. The turn-off for the summit spur trail is marked by a sign indicating "Split Rock".
The summit of Boulder Pine has glacial erratics, odd cairns, and the eponymous boulder pine.

Started out at Bearfort Waters P7
To Old Coal Trail west and cut right up Split Rock. Really did feel like a high point at over 1400’ ASL. Great quick hike, hit a heavy sleet storm on the way up!

Parked at P7 and hiked up the Old Coal Trail and took a right at the Split Rock Trail. Hiked back to the car the same way.

Climbed Boulder Pine Peak from Clinton Rd P7 parking. Old Coal Trail past Project Use site to right turn at Split Rock Sign. Easy walk.

An easy walk from P7 parking lot. Lots of people headed toward Terrace Pond. Nobody on the trail to Boulder Pine Peak. A nice, quiet walk in the woods.
