| Parking/Access Road Notes: |
No cars at West Mountain Road parking area on arrival. Just one other car when we left. Don't follow the Google directions to West Mountain Road if coming from South or East. Google would have you approach by a nonexistent part of West Mountain Road. Parking is actually at a dead end accessible only from the North. |

|
| Water Crossing Notes: |
Peck's Brook easily rockhopped. |
|
| Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Big duckunder on Cheshire Harbor Trail. Parts of Gould Trail could use some brushing. Peck's Brook Loop has been neglected--big duckunder and trail needs brushing (wild raspberries encroaching on trail--ouch). Some erosion on the sides of the ravine. Log steps have rotted and crumbled. |
|
| Dog-Related Notes: |
Didn't see any. Would appear to be an easy dog hike. |
|
| Bugs: |
A few earbuzzers but they didn't seem too hungry. |
