Hiking
Abbott Mountain in a 1,063-foot peak in the 5,617-acre Vernon S. Walker Wildlife Refuge. The 1.3-mile unmarked trail is up an old logging road that is best accessed by starting at Owls Nest Road and Pitts Road junction. Continue on Pitts Road for about a quarter mile and follow the increasingly rugged track (old Pitts Road) for another quarter mile until a deteriorated, rocky footpath appears on the left. Follow this path for just over half a mile, scrambling up fun ledges to the summit, which marked by a cairn, and offers splendid views of the surrounding area.
