Hedgehog Mountain Trail |
|
| Date of Hike: |
Monday, April 28, 2014 |
|
| Parking/Access Road Notes: |
Parked at the trailhead near the sharp turn on Hedgehog Mountain Road in Deering. If coming from the Route 149 side, it may be a good idea to park near the gravel pit (about a tenth of a mile before the trailhead), as there is a deep mud puddle and some moderately deep ruts after it. 4WD was needed. |

Dry Trail, Mud - Minor/Avoidable |
|
| Recommended Equipment: |
|
|
| Water Crossing Notes: |
Rock hops |
|
| Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Lots of stepovers, but I suspect the lower portion of the trail is pretty new (judging by the blazing and footbed), so perhaps those will disappear with time. |

| Comments: |
While in the past this may have been a roadwalk, a trail has been marked which joins and separates from it in a few places (in particular to avoid 4WD mud pits).
Superb western views from the summit ledges.
Phone indicated the trail is 3/4 mile one way. |
