|
 | Parking/Access Road Notes: |
Wiggle Brook Rd does not connect from Lincoln Pond Rd - there is a missing bridge - must take Kennebec River Rd to WBR from LPR/Tim Pond Rd. Porter Brook Road was in pretty good shape - was able to drive in about 2.4 miles in a Subaru Crosstrek. |
|
 | Surface Conditions: |
Dry Trail, Wet Trail, Standing/Running Water on Trail, Mud - Minor/Avoidable, Mud - Significant |
|
 | Recommended Equipment: |
|
|
 | Water Crossing Notes: |
Crossed Dennison Bog - wet ground mostly avoidable by walking on logging slash. |
|
 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
PBR was overgrown beyond where we parked but not terrible. The border swath was in pretty good condition, aside from a very muddy stretch near the bog. Cleared hillside had lots of low brush that was tedious. Herd paths between White Cap and Kennebago Divide then down to PBR from the col were in great shape. |

 | Comments: |
Bushwhacked through Dennison Bog, then up to White Cap by using logging slash and clearings to navigate and stay (mostly) out of the mud and water. Might be easier to hike Boundary separately from the other two. |
