It's easier to find your way up Blodgett Hill after they improved the road and the blazing up the trail from the other way.

Louise E Keir Wildlife Managment Area aka Blodgett Hill is definitely worth checking out.
Not only do they have a few acres of the Pitch Pine – Scrub Oak that they burned over a few years back, a few acres of the hill are fire-managed hardwood forest that almost has the feel of the Laurel Highlands of Pennsylvania or maybe even Allegheny National Forest.
There is a gated, steep road up one side of the hill now and the other pull-off area there is a blue-blazed DEC trail that makes it easy to follow.
