| Parking/Access Road Notes: |
On my way up Cupsuptic Pond Road, a Boarder Patrol Officer questioned me. When I emerged from the swath in darkness at 9:30 PM, two Boarder Patrol officers were blocking me in, wanting to chat. I told them the route I had walked. They searched my pack and ran my license. They stated that the route I described was legal, however, they would pull camera footage in the morning to confirm. They threatened a $5000 fine if I was found to have entered Canada.
The road will take just about any car to the national boarder swath.

The swath is a good easy walk with mostly good footing. One small swampy area. The highpoint is recognized. |
