 | Parking/Access Road Notes: |
We parked at the Linebrook parking area 1.2mi east of the road's jct with Rt 1. Large dirt lot with room for many cars. Many were there by 9am but still plenty of room. Lots of bikers too. Similar situation at 10:45am. |

Dry Trail, Snow - Trace/Minimal Depth, Wet Trail |

 | Recommended Equipment: |

|
 | Water Crossing Notes: |
I think all brook crossings were bridged but if there was one or two that were not, then they were trivial. |
|
 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
The western part of the trail coincides with the BCT and is marked with the usual circular markings; maybe some white blazes as well. I don't recall any blazes on the eastern half of the loop. Also note that the trail is not named or signed and "Pine Swamp Circuit" seems to just be a name made up by the author of the guidebook. I could not find anything online about it either. A widowmaker/leaner well above the trail about 30min in, then a very old and easy stepover about a half hour later. |
|
 | Dog-Related Notes: |
Good trails for dogs. They are allowed but must be leashed/picked up after. |
|
 | Bugs: |
I think there were snowfleas! |
|
 | Lost and Found: |
None |
