New Chester Mountain Road is in decent shape -- frost heaves have subsided, and the unpaved portion is dry and relatively smooth with just a few potholes. Parking area only a bit muddy.

 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Trails are in decent shape. Small walk-around blowdown on Cabin Trail, and at northern end of Greenan Trail flagged relo, just before it connects with old portion of trail, a walk-under leaner, with roots pulling up part of the trail, that will need removing at some point. |

 | Comments: |
Trails are completely dry with just a few small wet areas, but these are draining quickly.
Some nice new trail work was done recently on three of these trails -- relocations of issue areas that were either steep and slippery or ran directly through marshy/boggy areas. Relo on Stephens Trail is blazed; ones on Cabin Trail and Greenan Trail are flagged but pretty obvious/easy to follow.
