 | Parking/Access Road Notes: |
Plenty of room at the Notch and Speck Pond trailheads (I parked at the latter). Success Pond Rd. was in decent shape for the most part, with some rougher, bumpier sections between Hutchins St. and the Success trailhead. Definitely drive with care, though, as I saw at least one vehicle with a flat tire. |

No issues on the crossings that weren't dried up |

Can definitely tell the Notch and Speck Pond trails don't get a whole lot of traffic, but both are easy to follow for experienced hikers. |

 | Comments: |
The trails were bone dry for almost the entire hike, with a few small muddy areas. Perfect conditions for my first go of Mahoosuc Notch! |
