St Joseph's Hill is an easy hike to a nice viewpoint in the south bay. We parked near the boat launch for Lexington Reservoir, and headed up the trail. The first section is steep, but partially paved. The trail the levels out, before climbing more after the next junction.
View to the north.
There is a small network of trails around the summit. It was the day after Thanksgiving, so the trails were pretty busy. We got to the summit right as another group was leaving, and grabbed the bench to have lunch.

We continued around the south side of the hill to go down. There were great views of the reservoir and Highway 17. The hike down was quick, and seemed less busy than the route up.
