| Parking/Access Road Notes: |
Parked in designated lot off Nahmakanta Stream Rd in the Jo-Mary Forest. You will need directions from either the Maine Mountain Guide or from the Jo-Mary checkpoint. This is a fee road ($11 per day for Maine Residents). Gate open from 6am to 9pm 7 days a week from mid May to October. The trek to the trailhead entails driving 25 miles down these good dirt roads. Once on Nahmakanta Stream Rd, the road narrows to a single lane track that is rougher than the Jo-Mary road, but still a good road. Travel no faster than 30MPH and yield to all logging vehicles (in both directions). Active logging in the forest. |

| Bugs: |
Oh they lord. Last night's deluge of rain amplified the mosquitos to the point of derangement. Bug spray held them back until I sweat it off or washed it off with wet understory. |
