|
 | Water Crossing Notes: |
water levels are extremely low and all water crossings were easy |

a few blowdowns on Mead. one obscures the trail that you have to walk around. blazing is faint, but the footbed is easy to follow. might be tricky in winter. |

Sandwich Notch Road is a fun little road...once you find it! Take Dinsmore Pond Rd off of Rte 113 (there is a little red school house type building that has a rustic sign on it that says "Chicks Corner at the junction of Dinsmore Pond Rd & 113) follow it to the end and take a left at the T junction and stay left at the Y to get to the trail head.
A great day to be out and it was a nice recovery hike after the 14 miles I did on the Montalban Ridge the day before. I've gone up Israel via the Wentworth trail many years ago and I imagine that side must see more foot traffic that the GP tr and Mead, so if you're looking for solitude, i highly recommend this route.
i love the Sandwich Wilderness area and with the discovery of the Beebe River Rd, I am looking forward to returning with my bike. |
