| Parking/Access Road Notes: |
I didn't use the parking lots on either end but parked on Mt Mineral Road. There are parking areas on Cooleyville Rd, this one holds 4-5 cars at best, and fewer cars at the northern end at Rockwell Road. The interactive NEST map doesn't show either of these lots. |

| Surface Conditions: |
Dry Trail, Mud - Minor/Avoidable |

| Recommended Equipment: |

| Water Crossing Notes: |
There were three. The one just north of Cooleyville Road now has a log bridge, and the two crossings about 1/3 mile north of Cooleyville Road were easy. At high water these two can be very tricky. |
|
| Trail Maintenance Notes: |
I want to thank the crew that maintains this section of the NEST. I hike this section several times per year and I appreciate that the blazes have been re-painted and the section from Sibley Swamp to New Boston Road is now far easier to follow than it had been. |
