Itinerary description
This hike starts at the abandoned nature center near the top of Menegasha Forest Park. This loop route offers two ways to get to the peak. There mostly likely are other ways to the top. The peak, Mt. Wochecha, is the highest point in this massif. Mt. Mogli, the more domed/prominent peak that appears in some pictures uploaded to Wikiloc and is mentioned as the highest point is actually a few hundred feed lower than Mt. Wochecha (but is also a fun hike--see my other postings on Wikiloc). I give this a difficult rating because some areas of the train go through brush and are not clearly marked, and there is some easy, brief scrambling near the top. Also, if you start this hike from the ranger station at the entrance of Menagesha Forest Park, not the abandoned nature center, it is a long hike requiring most of the day. Each way from the Ranger Station up to the abandoned nature center is about 2.25 miles (3.6 km).

Pretty accurate. Once you are in the steep part, the path is almost non-existent, but you eventually get to the top without any problems.
