|
| Parking/Access Road Notes: |
Success Pond Road is dusty and has some washboard, but passable. If only doing Goose Eye Trail and if you have high clearance, you can take the second logging road on the right after the trailhead and drive up to the trail crossing, saving maybe 1/2 of a mile of hiking. |

Dry Trail, Wet/Slippery Rock, Mud - Minor/Avoidable |
|
| Recommended Equipment: |
|
|
| Water Crossing Notes: |
Rock hoppable |
|
| Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Goose Eye Trail in need of brushing. Third from bottom rung on ladder on south side of Goose Eye rotting and in need of replacement. |
|
| Dog-Related Notes: |
Ladder on south side of Goose Eye on Mahoosuc Trail is probably too much for many dogs. |
|
| Bugs: |
Some quasi black flies down low in the afternoon, otherwise minimal. |

|
| Comments: |
Trails and scramble ledges mostly dry. One or two scramble ledges had some wet spots, but doable nonetheless. Some minor mud down in the logged areas. Reclimbed Goose Eye rather than dealing with nasty Carlo Col Trail. |
